In
only a matter of days, 9/11 and the destruction of the Twin Towers will be
rivaled by a lone-wolf terrorist attack on America. Atlanta is targeted as
Ground Zero for the most horrifying plague in modern times.
Holy
cow! I am getting seriously sleep
deprived. Thank goodness I didn’t have
to be anywhere the other morning, because I was up until five-thirty a.m.
reading this book. It was mesmerizing
and horrifying, and I couldn’t put it down.
I need to read a bad book.
Something I can put down or fall asleep over.
I
was raised Lutheran and converted to Catholic while I was married. After I read Salem’s Lot by Stephen King, I slept with both a Catholic Missal
and a Lutheran Prayer Book for about six weeks.
After reading Plague, I want
to go out and buy a gas mask and never leave home without it. In fact, I’d like to give gas masks to my
family for Christmas this year. What
if?… Mr. Bernard has obviously done his
homework in terms of the science of bio-warfare. But, he’s also a great writer. His characters are well-drawn and real. His dialog flows nicely and is not stilted
like Robin Cook’s. (The man tells a good
story, but he should read his dialog aloud.)
Mr. Bernard even manages to avoid comma splices for the most part—one of
my pet peeves that most other people probably don’t notice. And he keeps you on the end of your seat, biting
your nails, turning the page, and holding your breath. Oh yeah, you’ll hold your breath long after
the book ends.
