Summary: this is the greatest book EVER
Comment: This book is very helpful and I have used it for both pleasure reading and in doing a report for school. This book gives detailed information, and a clear picture of what the Hanta Virus is all about.

Rating: 3
Summary: Epidemiology on Valium
Comment: This book reviews the Hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region. It is written from the standpoint of a (cautious) epidemiologist. Other strains of Hantavirus are discussed. The history, vectors and environmental influences are examined. A comprehensive review of Hantavirus...

But dull. The authors writing style drags. They repeat themselves frequently, make little jokes that are too dry to carry their own weight, and use an annoying 'literary' technique of stating a premise and then adding "but that is not the way it happened". After 100 pages this wears on the reader.

Too bad! The material is unusually balanced, dispassionate and clear. A good introduction for a student considering a career in epidemiology - but hardly an enthralling night's read.

For _that_ I would recommend "Virus Hunter: Thirty Years of Battling Hot Viruses Around the World" by C. J. Peters or "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance" by Laurie Garrett.
