Panic in Level 4: Cannibals, Killer Viruses, and Other Journeys to the Edge of Science [book]

THIS FELT LIKE A CRACKED ARTICLE WHERE SOMEONE WAS WRITING ABOUT SOME SORT OF VAGUELY RELATED THINGS IN A CUTE WAY BUT YOU COULD TELL ALL THE FACTS WERE SORTA 'WELL I DON'T THINK THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT'. IT WAS AN OKAY BOOK THOUGH, SOME CHAPTERS WERE BETTER THAN OTHERS.
