reading is new

I stopped the Deaths head and just finished the 300 page novel "Outbreak" by Robin Cook. It was about a doctor tracing several outbreaks of Ebola. The course of the book goes over the entirety of the nation, from San Deigo to New York City. I found that it held my attention that it seemed to be completed soon after the start, but it lasted several days of my reading time. It takes place sometime in the 1980's, but the exact date is never truly set, merely that it is post 1976 and during Ronald Regan's presidency. The tension the story builds and drama by switching between the main character and her pursuers. The ending plot twist caught me by surprise and  it ends on a good note.
