Contagion
When world-renowned doctor Quentin Forsythe goes missing after traveling to a decimated colony in the heart of south Africa, a team of doctors must find a way to save one of their own when a sinister new virus is unleashed, transforming the colonists into something unspeakable. Doctors Judas Sturgis and Katy Madison embark into the colony to find their missing colleague, Dr. Quentin Forsythe, who supposedly has found a cure. They will witness the horrifying wake of this unstoppable virus. It's a race against the clock when the U.S. Military led by Capt. Nathaniel Logan arrives - on orders to quarantine the whole area. A fractured rebel army arrives with their own dark agenda, and Dr. Sturgis starts to unravel from the seams. Can Katy Madison and Capt. Logan hold everything together and find a way to save the colony, or risk becoming her next victims?

The writing was stilted. I began this book expected to be whisked into a world of doctors and diseases and dropped it three chapters later because it was just so jarring. The idea seems great, but the execution is severely lacking.
“Her philosophy was simple when it came to men. Screw as many as you can and love every minute of it.” Awkward. I had to pause reading to laugh in disbelief. And it just doesn’t get better. “Love every minute of it?” Yikes. There’s a reason I’ve never read a sentence like that before. It’s just so uncomfortable.
Save yourself the time, don’t bother picking this one up.

I kept starting this book but it just never grabbed me. I really wanted to like it but the beginning is so wordy and repetitive that I kept getting bored. Sorry. :(
Maybe it gets better but I couldn't get past the first 10 pages.

Wow! Sounds really interesting. I like reading adventurous stories and I want to be a doctor when I grow up. This book will really suit my liking!
