the idea behind the novel. I'm very intrigued by natural disasters, disease, plague, etc. This book feeds on the fear in us all of a biological warfare attack.

that the book failed to keep me in suspense. I didn't particularly care about any of the (many) characters itnroduced, and the book seemed to move very slowly. I didn't find it suspenseful or thrilling in any way.

Start reading a good book.

fairly let down.

it fails to start. It introduces too many characters (with similar-sounding names), too many subplots, too little action. I didn't care about any of the characters or even about the outcome of the novel. It failed to engage me in any way.

I definitely do not recommend this book, unless you've got nothing else to read. Although some have found this to be suspenseful and gripping, I did not. My advice: Skip this one.
