Just read “The Hot Zone”. Very good book, a fast read, and will have you sufficiently terrified of Ebola for life. One of the phrases from that book that is forever in my mind... “the sloughing off of the tongue”

Just read “the Bible”. Same comments. Both the second “big chapter” and the final one describe horrible plagues. And plagues pop up here and there throughout.

The good news is we WIN in the end because this really cool guy (he’s actually GOD himself) named Jesus loves us enough to lay down his life for us. Amazing ending!

Real page-turner, I’m telling you! Highly recommended.

I have read THE HOT ZONE. If you get through the FIRST PARAGRAPH you can’t stop reading.

It is called “the hook”. Get them hooked on the first paragraph or page and you got them for the rest of the book.

That is beyond bone-chilling! And I’m only on pg 22!
