Very good!. Very well written, easy to understand. If you have interest in the spread of viruses and in Ebola specifically, you will enjoy this book.

Fun. Quick read! Loved it, gruesome and engaging.

Amazingly frightening!. Read this book as I wanted to read more on the concept of ebola as it spreads across Liberia as of now. This really opens my eyes to a lot and was really well written. The author puts you in the narratives mind as you watch over the events that happen. Will read more by Preston!

Infectious!!!. Great nonfiction read!

Easily one of the worst books I’ve ever read. This book is very difficult to get through. The writing style is not good, it’s somehow very descriptive yet also uninteresting. Once a plot line starts getting interesting, the author switches to another entirely different one! It’s a shame that this book is so poorly written because the events are very interesting. All in all, this is NOT worth your time or money.

Favorite book of all time!. This book is incredible! Richard Preston does a phenomenal job of putting you in the shoes of someone with Ebola by describing every little detail of the signs and symptoms they experience. It’s amazing that something so microscopic and primitive (because it’s made of RNA) has the capability to destroy a human from the inside out is mind-blowing. I originally read this book for a Microbiology class during the 2014 Ebola outbreak and having no knowledge of Ebola and to read about this while the outbreak was ongoing made it even more interesting! I read this in 3 days. It is honestly my favorite book. Definitely worth the read!

Great book!. Read this book for a class but I couldn't put it down it! Awesome true story!

Hard to stop. A fascinating read with todays events. Hard to put this book down

Excellent. This is non-fiction, but it is written like a novel. And it is well-written at that. If you want to know about ebola, this is the book.

Terrifying!. By the title, this book sounds dry and boring. I assure you it is anything but that. All the more terrifying because it’s all true. Great read!

Hot Zone. In light of the Ebola outbreak in 2014 and all the poo pooing by the media and politicians of the danger to the U.S., everyone should read this and be aware.

Excellent. This book was both terrifying and extremely gripping. Sometimes it was so gross I thought I would throw up, but I couldn't put it down. The lurid details are absolutely fascinating. It's very informative, but definitely not for the faint-hearted. Essentially, a great book.

Timely Read. You follow the journey of discovery of an emerging virus, out of Kitum Cave to Reston, VA. Preston's final words are prophetic - "It will be back."

The Hot Zone. Outstanding

More fiction than non fiction. The author has taken Ebola patients death and has turned them in to something more resembling a Hollywood sci-fi movie. Preston leads the reader to believe that in a matter of a few days, even hours, Ebola patients melt in their own skin. Take for instance the man on the plane who literally starts melting externally and internally in a matter of hours, even his face is slipping because the connecting tissue has melted.Yet he can still call a cab to take him to the hospital. Ebola patients do not die by melting in to an internal sloppy bloody liquid. All internal organs melting in to a bag of gooey blood. Preston creates a fictional story and passes it off as non-fiction. His two books have mislead thousands and are an absolute insult to anyone who works in the field of virus medicine.

The Hot Zone. This book is absolutely fascinating. I do not like reading but it was difficult to put this book down. I liked it so much I bought the paper back version

Awesome book. I had to read this book for school....and I was a really good book. I could not put it down. Very good book, well written, all round awesome!!!!

Hot zone. Top three is all I need to say

Intense Read. Learning how this Ebola virus comes and goes, and how he predicted it will come again, strike a chord of fear and a need to study and prepare for the future. And now thousands of people are dying in Africa from Ebola. We must get smarter on this virus.

The hot zone. Both Terrifying and fascinating. A book that's tough to put down.

Gripping Tale from Beginning to End. I very much enjoyed the way the author told this tale. It properly underscores the seriousness of these deadly viruses, but also shows that there is reason to hope. Countless people work behind the scenes to understand and fight these viruses. It’s important for us to be more aware of the work they do, and support them. I look forward to reading other books by this author, and watching the television series.

The Hot Zone. Read this book before it's banned. October 15, 2014 Incredible.

Disappointed. Disappointed.
