I feel strange, as this is a book in a 12+ age range and I've enjoyed it more than I should, probably. I mean I am 12+, but that plus is a pretty big number ;) Either way, this is a well written and fast paced book, which ends with an awful cliffhanger.
There's a girl and there's a boy (good "bad boy" type), and there's another girl, who is missing. Add some bad people, a mysterious and deadly virus, some love and death of loved ones and you get a good story.
The writing style is light and easy to read, with a lot of dialogues.
I'm giving it 4 stars, but it's more like 3.8 ;) The story feels like something you've already read or seen, but it's still a fun read.
Now I'm waiting for the second book!

The description of this book sounded good. I seem to be a part of the minority in saying that I simply could not finish this book. And that is something I never do lightly.

I typically love epidemic/bioterrorism books. The dread of knowing it potentially could truly happen is what seals the deal for me. In what I managed to read of this book, topics seemed to be all over the place. There were to many different situations being dealt with. Being bullied, a missing girl, a virus getting out, etc.. Some of the dialogue seemed forced and added just as fill in. Overall this simply was not the book for me.
