Short
Summary of the book:
As is so often the case with books of this
type, they are already out-of-date by the time they are published.
The author gives a concise piece of
information about the Corona virus which holds our world to ransom. It is a
rapidly evolving subject and by the time I read it, it was already outdated.
For baseline and background information, the
book is okay.
What
I liked about the book:
The book was written in a style which was
easily to understand.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
Despite the book being easily understandable,
in places it went into details the lay public may struggle to understand.
My
favourite bits in the book:
This is a book giving facts, there were no
favourite bits as such.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
The bits that gave facts already outdated by
the time the book was published. This is by no means the fault of the author.
Corona virus and the knowledge about it, change rapidly and guidance changed
within a matter of hours at the start of the pandemic.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
I believe this to be a stand-alone book
although the author has written many books with medical or medical-related
subjects.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
Any
books which give basic information on a (medical) subject.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
|
Children
|
No
|
|
Young
Adult
|
Maybe
|
|
Adult
|
Yes

If you like finding
out about medical subjects, this book may be the book for you. Please
bear in mind the knowledge about this subject has progressed and the information
held within the book is partially outdated.
I
look forward to reading more books by this author.
