Reseñas de la Crítica

“Coben adroitly applies the fundamental rules of thrillerdom (offer a raft of potential villains; keep the action moving at breakneck speed) in this highly entertaining novel...a page-turner!” ( Publishers Weekly)

Enjoyable thriller

Liked this very much. Plot was good, narration was good, you cared about the characters. Villain was detestable, exactly what a villain should be.

Always a good listen

A favorite author. i buy them all.
Scott Brick does a good job on this as well.

A look back

I really enjoyed this story, it was suspenseful, lots of twists and turns and I was not able to guess the ending. I did not pay much attention to the aids epidemic as I was never personally touched. So it was good to get some historical info and a sense of how crazy people were. It was a most enjoyable story.

It was ok

Harlan warned us in the intro it was his second book and not as good as later books. He was right.

The Violent Politics of HIV & Est'd Medical Rsrch

What did you like best about Miracle Cure? What did you like least?

The gratuitous violence thought necessary to make the point

What other book might you compare Miracle Cure to and why?

Like most other thrillers with HIVas the main story line

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Scott Brick has a good voice albeit he is excessively melodramatic and after awhile all his characters sound the same. Just read the story without all of the excessive conspiratorialy voicing.

Did Miracle Cure inspire you to do anything?

No, unless avoiding other Harlan Coben's stories if they exhibit the same level of unecessary discriptions of violence.
