The Hot Zone by Richard Preston

This is the book that started my love of Medical Thrillers! It's been a very long time since I've read it, so I think it will be going on my to-read list for a second (or third) go around!

I highly recommend this book, it's intriguing and scary at the same time!
A quick word of warning though, if you decide to read it just know that it's very graphic and very real!

I got a kick out of reading some of the reviews on Goodreads...click here if you dare. ;-)
