I'm giving this one three stars but it's more like 3.25 or at tops 3.5 for me. I found it a bit disconcerting. The story line seemed fragmented at times. The author writes well making the book a quick easy read. I like that. However, I kept feeling that I must be missing something. When I read the reviews others have written I found that my reaction was similar in many ways. It seemed to take a long time for the author to flesh out the characters and in some cases I'm not sure that they ever were. I wonder if anyone else felt some of the characters were shallow.

The premise of a pandemic is plausible but in the days of mass communication I can't see how more people wouldn't have known how tragic this disease could be for the world's population. Yes, it strikes fast but I still wonder about that aspect. Anyway I was sad to see I didn't enjoy a book that has been celebrated by those who choose outstanding books. Nevertheless, I'm sure many others will love this read. The author's writing style is delightful.
