"The structure and style make How Pathogenic Viruses Work interesting and easy to read. All relevant terms are clearly explained and, as they are explained in context, they are easy to remember. It is a supplementary book on virology I was looking for. I shall certainly recommend this book to my students and will use it for my lectures."

"Unique...should be useful to people trying to develop an approach to virology for the first time (not so bad for those of us who think we know something about viruses either!)...Dr. Sompayrac is an extraordinary writer who sees both the forest and the trees and makes the whole thing fun in the process."

-- James L. Cook, MD
Professor of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago

"I found the excerpts interesting, informative and most of all, fun! I think anyone, including lay persons, students, physicians, and even virologists will enjoy it. Sompayrac is really a brilliant writer. If science books were always this fun to read, we'd have a lot more science majors!"

"One of the best features is that it's easy to read and it's short. In fact, I expect that a student could get a good overview of virology in only one or two sittings, which is all that would probably be required to finish the entire book!"
