Chris's Reviews > Deadly Feasts: The "Prion" Controversy and the Public's Health

After The Hot Zone, the bar has been set for the deadly-real-viruses-that-could-wipe-us-all-out genre. And unfortunately, Deadly Feasts misses the mark. And I'm not sure it's the author's fault. I felt as though he wanted to get his facts completely in order and contain the fear mongering. Which is noble, but can also make for some dry reading. I appreciated his breakdown of the disease, but unless you're a chemist/biologist/virologist/etc. it made for some pretty technical reading in the middle.
