Love to read and listen to books
"not one of his best"
kids, people working on bio-science, physicians, hospital workers, anyone associated with the future science of disease
villain gets away with it
it was ok, nothing outstanding
i still like Robin cook
no
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!"
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!
The plot was good as were the characters. I must admit though, I really feel cheated by the ending.
George Guidall is the Master of Masters! He could read a telephone book and make it a great read.
I wouldn't have cut any, but I sure would have added at least one more to the ending.
Very disappointing. Robin Cook and his editors blew it!!!
"It was just ok"
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
Yes, I think he's a great author!
It moved very slow.
No.
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"
Maybe
No. This was quite possibly the most disappointing book I have ever read.
Sure
The story could have been excellent with better treatment and most definitely with an ending, not just hanging
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.
"OK, not great"
Didn't feel the book had an ending.
Only if you like Robin Cook.
Narration OK
If you have the time then it's worth it.
No
Tell us about yourself!
"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"
Cook didn't finish - He just stopped writing before any plot elements were resolved.
Cook could have been more professional and finished the story instead of just letting everything drop unresolved.
The narrator does a credible reading job, but I find his voice irritating - just a personal preference.
Not any worth mentioning
I'm pretty sure I'm done with Robin Cook.
