Parts of this book were fantastic, with plenty of lessons to be learned and applied to the current virus situation. There were some parts that dragged on a bit, particularly when the author tried to make a point about virality by effectively listing death rates per city for endless sentences. It dragged out a bit at the end as well, but overall I think it's an important book about an often overlooked period of history.
