Intriguing. I thought that this book was absolutely intriguing. It was very informative and scientific of course, but the author does an amazing job of turning this very factual and informative book into a story as well. It was very fun to read and I couldn't put it down. You won't go wrong reading this book, so if your thinking about buying it because the picture on the front is so awesome but your worried what's inside isn't, don't worry, you won't be let down. Just be aware that if your not into learning then you won't like this book. Zoonosis, the main topic of the book, is something all of Earth's citizens should be aware of, because like he mentions in this text, if your not to sure what zoonosis is now, don't worry, it won't be long before it's a household word, and how right he is! To win a war you must have knowledge, and make no mistake about it, the war on humans is very real, with the enemy being nature itself! If your worried that this book might be apocalyptic, don't be, it's not. The author just wants the reader, and the world for that matter, to be informed of the very real danger that biological specimens pose on the human-animal! Thanks Mr. Quammen for this amazing book. I'm thinking about doing graduate studies in virology because of this book!

Like an adventurous textbook. A co-worker gave me a hard copy of this book and I wanted more when I finished. As a physician and someone who is planning how to re-open a university after coronavirus, I feel better equipped after reading this book. There are a lot of “Hey, I never heard of that deadly virus” moments. The author seems to throw weird SAT worthy vocab every 10 pages, so be prepared. A great read with so much historical and scientific information. Only one equation, but that one plays out during the whole book.

A great story. Easy to read a great story teller. Explains everything.

Spillover. Excellent reading. The writing is clear enough for anyone to understand and the subject is fascinating. Highly recommend.

An enjoyable and incredibly prescient book. This is the most exciting and enjoyable book I've ever read on general scientific knowledge. Part Sherlock Holmes, part wild life travel and part medical discovery all wonderfully woven into a fascinating narrative.

Spillover. Spillover is an outstanding overview of zoonotic diseases, their history, and the scientists and physicians who work to unravel their mysteries and treat infected individuals. I have read several of the books referenced in Spillover, but the author does a great job filling in blanks and providing very current information. Excellent book, excellent research, and one of the first lay volumes to clearly show how humans, virus, bacteria, plants, and animals all share Mother Earth: constantly evolving and searching for suitable ecological niches.
