Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from the Original Epicenter by Fang Fang

3.0

Ok this was a tough one to review. I picked it because a first hand account of the COVID-19 outbreak in China is a very interesting tale to read. Fang Fang is a famous author and her daily journal of life during the pandemic can really be a lesson to us all. If you feel the virus isn't very dangerous read as she describes friends dying, very tough lockdowns and a virus no one quite understands yet.
There are many details in here the US could learn and use to manage COVID better.
However I think something was lost a bit in the translating because it felt a bit flat. There was a lot of good information that I learned but it was also a book that I kept putting down.
3.5 stars overall
5 stars for the information it gives but 3 stars for the readability of the book.
