Very, very good book to read! You tell the author really does his homework & tries to give his readers a descriptive environment with the people he meets. even the introduction was particularly interesting with the actual title of the book. However this book is broken up into 6 different categories: intro of the level 4 unknown virus, two brothers building a supercomputer, trees in America that are under the threat of foreign parasites, the Ebola virus, the discussion of a unicorn quilt made back in the 1500s, & the self cannibalism genetic disease. So there's a little bit of something for everyone's interest. He tries to spice the stories up with humor and really is informative with each one. I didn't think I was going to enjoy the tree one in particular, but it did grab my attention unlike the the story about the 2 brothers building a supercomputer. I am not interested what so ever into mathematics or computers, but that's okay. It doesn't ruin my enjoyment of reading the other tales he has researched.
