Creepy at times; the first chapter reminded me of the horror flick I was shown during Driver's Ed [ucation] called “Blood on the Highway”, which was intended to show all the horrors of not driving safely.

I found this one rather tough because all the numbers that were presented began to blur and desensitize me in the fact I began to scan thru the book. It did impress on me the amount of research the author, and the many other researchers he relied on, had to have done to inform their readers. It was also a tough read because of the number of words used to get a message across. Maybe someone who does scanning might enjoy this but I don't.

I'm glad I did read the book as I would never have understood the impact the mosquito has had.
