Fascinating topic - but meh in the telling. I listened to this as an audiobook - the reader has a William Shatner-esque pause. The first half was a steady uphill slog. I found myself skimming just to get through it. The second half was better and it picked up as it moved along, but it was never so gripping that I could hear the Star Trek fight song in my head as I listened to the book. And it should have been gripping. It's the world's most deadly virus! I'd give it another half star if I could, but I can't - so three it is.
