This was a long and quite interesting book. I think I would've enjoyed it more if it hadn't been suggested as a similar book to Frank Schatzing's _The Swarm_...
This book was detailed and seemed quite well-researched. Some of it was very horrific, but it did have a some surprisingly happy moments. The ending did involve a bit of a disappointing twist, that seemed rather unnecessary. The last two chapters were little more than explaining away the previous 600 pages of the book, which was very disengaging. However, I will watch out for his work because he has a real skill in crafting sentences... the books of his that I read will just be subject dependent, that's all.
