The Great Influenza- Recap

When I talked with my dad about this book we both seemed to find it to be very interesting with the way the influenza really took over the world, in a sense. However, he liked how it was written as more of a story because it gave you more of an image to think about while reading while I thought that the stories that were told really took away from the facts and made it more difficult to read. We also thought that it was interesting how the author decided to talk about if something along the lines of the 1918 influenza came back today how unprepared we would be and how history would repeat itself with how many people struggled and died during that time.
