Interesting Story and Characters

Loved the flow of the story as it kept my interest down to last second!

Suspense

The women obtained ssn from dead people to change identity and get jobs at bio firm.

Think Twice

A very good book. I found it very engaging. It may be a little far fetched, but when it comes to Robin Cook all things are possible in the medical field.

Ending wss cutoff

The story was great but the ending was very abrupt for Mr. Robin Cook

great book

very good book I've read it before but hearing it was OK too I would recommend it too anybody

Okay Robin Cook book

Not great,but okay. Probably 100% better on paper - so that's a consideration! Just a little too sing-song for me.

Classic Robin Cook

Another great book by Robin Cook, with usual accurate medical information expected by a great doctor and author.

The book was better. But...this reading was a 4.5

I have read most his BOOKS that he wrote & published by 2004 but I had some serious medical issues & i couldn't get to library.
I love his writing style. I could read a book in a day & maybe start another one.
He writes on little known but real medical conditions (like stem cells or new vectors that spread disease). I noticed after reading his beginning books, you could usually hear about that situation in the news & journals. It's as if his books prompted the world to look into the posibilities.

Boring and Predictable

I barely got through this. very disappointing from Robin Cook.
Hated narrator's voice. What a waste of time and money.

Reviews were correct

Another Cook book that's pre-perfecta formula for Robin Cook. Probably too late to return this one Again it's a book written before Cook got the formula prefects. Verbose, over excited phrasing that leads Nowhere
