This was disappointing. The 1918 flu epidemic is a fascinating story, but this book gets lost in the personal histories of the scientist who were on the front lines. I was surprised, since Barry's Rising Tide was fabulous.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
