I love these sort of non-fictions. Scary tales about real diseases. This is the true story of the initial Ebola epidemic.

By stretching the definition of memoir, I've placed this book in the bio and memoirs bag. When the bag arrived, I found that the books that I'd reserved for it wouldn't fit. (There was a ton of stuff in it, most of which didn't interest me at all.) So this book is on its way elsewhere, having sat menacingly on my bookshelf for some time. I didn't quite get to read it. Hopefully, someone else will

Read this in only 2or 3 sittings. A very readable account of an horrific event liberally sprinkled with suspense.

G'day,

Just checking in to let you know I am safe and sound. I am having a nice visit with fairy-whispers before continuing on my travels. I hope you’re having as much fun as I am!

With Great Affection,

Your Book :-)

Ebola is a very frightening look at the Ebola outbreak in Zaire in 1976. Ebola is a virulent form of haemorrhagic fever. There are three strains of Ebola with Zaïre ebolavirus (the strain featuring in this book) being the most potent. While this strain has an average mortality rate of around 83%, individual outbreaks have shown it can be much higher. The case-fatality rates for this strain were 88% in 1976 (this is the outbreak covered by Ebola), 100% in 1977, 59% in 1994, 81% in 1995, 73% in 1996, 80% in 2001-2002 and 90% in 2003. There have been more outbreaks of Zaïre ebolavirus than any other strain.

Ebola was an interesting, and frightening, look at the progress of this disease and the fear it can instil in those affected. It is written in novel form, making it easy to read and understand and I recommend this to anyone with an interest in medicine, science or communicable diseases.

I'm in the middle of it at the moment. The fact that it's based on actual events makes the reading more interesting.
