Classic Cook...but...?
The story line is good but what happens during the first part of the book is somewhat lost. You might thing that he is attempting to introduce characters but Robin did not need to spend so much ink doing it. Solid story and draws you to the conclusion... wait... it didn't.

Intriguing but incomplete
I like this book but I was disappointed with what seemed to be his losing focus on the story and then some weird incomplete ending. I️t seemed like a lot of time was focused on the beginning build up with lots of unnecessary and inconsequential story line and then quickly finished. I usually love the writers books but this one left me blah.

Educational and intriguing
What made the experience of listening to Intervention the most enjoyable?
Wanting to know the answer to the burning question...
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jack, the protagonist. His feelings and thinking about his feelings were on target.
Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?
Jack. The only failing of this book was that sometimes the male voices were so similar, I had to rewind to remember who was talking.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
Was it really necessay to have Laurie's 1st baby suffer from a terminal illness. I wanted more information about that and more hopefulness-it cast a sadness over the whole book.

Couldn't put it down.
This was one of the most riveting books I've read in a long time. It was a real page turner. I presume some of the religious fanatics will be offended by it, just like they were with the Davinci Code, but that is fiction. The writing was excellent and the narrator did his usual good job. It really captured my attention until about 90% of the way through and then just fell apart. I swear, publishers must pressure writers to finish a book "or else". The last 10% of the book just "died" The ending was a Major Disappointment! For Robin Cook it was a real surprise. However, with that being said, it is definitely worth the time and credit to read.

An okay listen
Great narration as always from Guidall, but this book wasn't as good as some of Cook's other books. I thought the biblical details were distracting and not particularly interesting (and I majored in Religion!). It seemed a little Dan Brown-ish, but not in a good way. My attention definitely waned a bit in the middle of this one, though the story picked up when Cook brought the two stories together, about 3/4 of the way through. ,

good one!!!
I have truly enjoyed every Robin Cook novel. I keep waiting for Jack StPleton to find some real happiness.

Cook at his best!
I love this story. I combines the characters we love with our desire to belive in the devine.
