What can I say? This book was a total roller coaster ride. The beginning was sort of dull, basically what you'd expect from any beginning. The middle sparked SOME interest and showed a little potential, but I have to say: This last part...? Total buzz kill. Worse than Buzz Killington and his damn British humor. I thought it'd atleast be cooler if the virus or infection or whatever the hell you wanna call it got loose onto the HUMAN population; not a bunch of god damn monkeys that no one cares about. I was disappointed as hell when I read the last few chapters that described nothing more than a bunch of veterinarians euthanizing a building full of dull monkeys. Granted, it provided a good way to kill time and learn about how monkeys die from diseases (They basically act as if their clinically depressed and eventually die from some sorta organ failure). Yay, now know how monkeys "crash" and bleed out. That'll definitely prove useful and knowledgeable sometime in my life, later rather than sooner I hope.
There is one question that I'd like to ask however... Why Africa? It's like everything comes from Africa... The first primitive life (No offense to any God-worshipers out there) and now it's the birthplace of a bunch of viruses that can wipe humanity off the face of the Earth. Africa's so cool and important.
There's not much left that I can say about this book. It's got it's ups and downs, curves and swerves, (insert other cute little rhyming direction oriented words here)... But it's still a good book. It's sort of riveting if you're the bookish kind of person. Personally, I'd recommend you pick up Resident Evil or something if you're looking for an Outbreak book.
