Has anyone here read the book titled The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague In History by John M. Barry? If so, what did you think? I'm considering getting it, but wanted to check here first to see if anyone recommends it.

I'm about half way through it right now. The first 2 chapters were VERY slow, but it is very interesting after that point. I'm going to hold my opinion until I finish but I think someone else on this board was reading it as well. Maybe check "Within These Pages".

I read it and it starts slow but then takes you on a wild ride! Very important info and a good read!
