The Hot Zone part 4.

Section 4 of The Hot Zone wasn’t as eventful as the other sections. I thought that the book ended up nicely but the last section was relatively short. I liked reading about the Kinshasa Highway and Preston’s journey into Kitum Cave. Preston described Kitum Cave very well and it’s weird to think that somewhere in that dark cave there is one of the deadliest life forms on Earth. I learned that the Kinshasa Highway played a major role in the spread of AIDS during the 20th century, and that most of the world’s animal and plant species are found in tropical rain forests. The question I always have for this book is will they find a cure? Also at the end of the book when the author says “it will be back.” This makes me worried that Ebola will have another serious outbreak. In all, the book was pretty educational and entertaining. I still think it is a shocker that this is based on true events.
