Has anyone read this book?

[Tommy Beach]

	I thought it was written well from a dramatic standpoint
	but it failed in that it anthropormorhized viruses in
	general giving ebolai a quasi-conscious identity.  The 
	author made comments like, "...a virus does not want to kill
	its host." As if the virus' had a game plan in that they
	are seeking to survive and try to plan their attack.

	Viruses are nothing more than packets of information
	containing DNA or RNA.  They are not alive and cannot be
	"killed" but only rendered unviable.
