Hot Zone is a great book. But is it true, Yes most of it is to my surprise. I'am a 9th Grader and had to read the book for English. After reading the book I asked my Biology teacher's about the subject, and yes it could very well happen. The book is well written with information and thrill and the same time. If you like to read a good biik I strongly reccomend it. The book it's self is about Ebola and Marburg and other virusus. Monkey's frome Africa come to a suburb of D.C. but will the virus break out and cause a world wide epidemic?
