Why this book?

I chose this book because it seemed really interesting about the Ebola virus because I have never even heard of this before. Also it is a true story so it seems like this book will be very interesting to read. The Ebola virus is a very rapid spreading disease, that kills people very gruesomely. I am very drawn to this kind of topic because I've always wanted to know more about the very dangerous viruses and how you can get them. I think this book will give a very good insight as to how viruses can affect people's lives.

    I read this book several years ago, so the details escape me, but I DO remember that it seriously creeped me out! The scariest part was realizing how close the scientists came to exposing the public to a frightening virus.
    If you want to learn some basic details about virus and a little about The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease, check out this video on Discovery Education: http://player.discoveryeducation.com/index.cfm?guidAssetId=73B301DA-0077-4402-8DCF-8A3698A3E4F1&blnFromSearch=1&productcode=US
