‘One moment everything is fine and dandy, the next, it’s a hundred and four degrees and spiking. No warning, just blazing heat and trembling with the intense desire to rid oneself of clothing and soak in icy water. Yes, the fever is the devil, but it is not the beginning. It is day two! There’s more, so much more. But these naked bipedals aka the ‘descendants of Adam’ are yet to fully comprehend the Art of Infection.’

There are so many reasons I enjoyed this book. 1) Relevancy - it's a story of a virus infecting communities and countries and how the virus transmits through everyday items and situations that we often take for granted; 2) Dark humour - the story is told from the perspective of the virus, and the virus has a personality all its own: Snarky, sarcastic, uncaring, opinionated, and judgmental of the human race; 3) Cultural and Racial Issues - the book is so well written when it comes to making you feel immersed in different cultures (i.e. UK vs. Nigeria) and also touches on racial bias and even 'conspiracy theories', including the origin and spread of the virus.
