I will not belabor my issues here because I truly dislike writing bad reviews,

but I was very disappointed with this book. After I finished it, I decided that

the authors did not invest as much time into writing this book as I have

invested into preparing my tax return in an attempt to save myself a few measely

pennies.

Using a question-and-answer format, the authors succeeded reasonably well at

clearly presenting their points to people who might not know what a virus is,

but I was not confident with the accuracy of this book; not only did the authors

contradict themselves in several places but worse, pages 51-52 -- where they

discuss what is a bacteria? -- were completely, totally wrong.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this book.
