I purchased The Flu thinking it would be an OK read. A filler if you like, something easy to read on my daily commute. But I was wrong - very wrong!
The Flu immediately plunges you into the story with characters that are incredibly likeable and not the usual infallible types that dominate the PA genre. They are normal people with normal lives, and have the same feelings and fears that you could image having yourself in such situations.
The story is free-flowing and addictive, easily understandable and not bogged down by the scientific explanations that can make such novels a bit of a chore in places. I read these type of novels for fun, not an education, and The Flu has a big tick in that box.
Now, I do have to mention the errors, both spelling and grammatical in this book. But in the end, I didn't care - the story is good, the characters are great and for me, these issues did not distract me from the positive things.

The poor grammar silly spelling errors were frustrating. Was there no editor? BUT, the story was compelling, gripping. I read this 700 plus page book in two days. Could not put it down!
The earth is overcrowded today. Mother Nature does her job and "culls" the population. With what? A horrific form of flu. And when you think it's over, it's not over!! I actually cried a few tears during the last several chapters.
Perhaps I shouldn't have read it while I had a cold, however, lol!!
I recommend this book...if you are willing to overlook the printing erros that pop up here and there. For $3.99, it was a very intense read.
WHAT IT??? at it's best.
