    "Wat da?"

    The ending was terrible. It was like the author tired of the story and didnt finish it leaving George and Pia's father just hanging. It is like the author was just transitiioning to a sequel.

    I have listened to audio books constantly since 2006. I have listened to well over 1,000 books and have enjoyed most of them. I wouldn't know what to do without them.

    "The Ending... Wasn't!"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    The book would have been for me had it had an ending. Another five or ten minutes could have wrapped things up, but instead it just quit! I couldn't believe my ears!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The plot was good as were the characters. I must admit though, I really feel cheated by the ending.


    What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    George Guidall is the Master of Masters! He could read a telephone book and make it a great read.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Nano?

    I wouldn't have cut any, but I sure would have added at least one more to the ending.


    Any additional comments?

    Very disappointing. Robin Cook and his editors blew it!!!

    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    I tried and tried to really get into this book and found myself forcing myself to read hoping it would get better and it did not. I LOVE Robin Cook's books but this one just did not do it for me. Sorry


    Would you be willing to try another book from Robin Cook? Why or why not?

    Yes, I think he's a great author!


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    It moved very slow.


    Do you think Nano needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No.


    Any additional comments?

    I'd look at his other books, this one did not impress me at all.

    "Can't believe I wasted my time"

    I normally enjoy Robin Cook's medical thrillers, but this one was a bummer. I was into the plot until it became so ridiculous. I am not into science fiction. I replayed the last 3 minutes thinking that my iPod had malfunction or that my download was corrupted. No such luck. That was the end of the story. After listing for hours with the most minute details given, the end just happened! No explanation, details, etc. Wasted time.

    "Horribly disappointing"
    Would you try another book from Robin Cook and/or George Guidall?

    Maybe


    Would you ever listen to anything by Robin Cook again?

    No. This was quite possibly the most disappointing book I have ever read.


    Would you listen to another book narrated by George Guidall?

    Sure


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    The story could have been excellent with better treatment and most definitely with an ending, not just hanging


    Any additional comments?

    I absolutely positively DO NOT recommend this book

    "Eh."

    I haven't read a Robin Cook book in years, and got this one as a gift. Overall, it was just OK. I kept wanting the story to move faster. It was a little hard to get into the characters, maybe because I hadn't read the other book with the same protagonist. Like many have said, the ending was a bit abrupt. There were many characters left hanging. I have no problem reading books where the "bad" guys win, or where there is some ambiguity, but this one seemed very rushed and unfinished. I guess I would call this a generic thriller that passes the time, but isn't worth a re-listen.

    "Not a very good story"

    I liked the first spinoff from the Jack Stapleton/Lori Montgomery Series but this one wasn't as well written. The Pia Grazdani character is well developed but she and her sort of sidekick George Wilson don't seem to have gelled as a team and this is Book 2. While I can handle an ending that leaves one in suspense, this book went a little too far.

    "Unfinished Novel"
    What disappointed you about Nano?

    Cook didn't finish - He just stopped writing before any plot elements were resolved.


    What could Robin Cook have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Cook could have been more professional and finished the story instead of just letting everything drop unresolved.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    The narrator does a credible reading job, but I find his voice irritating - just a personal preference.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    Not any worth mentioning


    Any additional comments?

    I'm pretty sure I'm done with Robin Cook.
