...claustrophobic read. Alexander didn't do anything for months but eat, sleep and interrogate prisoners. Many of the book's scenes take place in interview booths-Alexander, his partner, an interpreter and the bad guy.

Someone's got to push this change...
...However, even though young people are not at risk for flu complications, college students are particularly likely to spread disease. They live together in close quarters and eat buffet-style, which makes it easier for someone sneezing over the rice pilaf to get everyone else sick. College students encourage each other to share shot glasses at parties or engage in other kinds of “intimacy” that may be conducive to the spread of disease...
