Customer Reviews

from a high school standpoint.

Recommended by a teacher, Robin Cook, the first novel that caught my attention was Brain, my first Cook book too. this book had it all. I'm not a reader at all, and I dont usual enjoy it, but this book kept my interest and I couldn't put it down! Brain gives an amazing sense of imagery. Confusing, but you get the hang of it. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone who wants a quick intense read!

Brilliant - not brain dead at all!!!

Robin Cook is truly a classic writer of our age. His medical thrillers are surpassed by no one - except Michael Crichton, perhaps. I thought the pace of this particular novel was electrifying, and the romantic subplot one of the most emotionally gutwrenching that I have ever read.. Bravo!, Mr Cook - keep on writing !!!

The best ever by Cook!

I know some people have found it too technical but for me it was the best ever. For someone on the medical field who understands the terminology, the book is great. I was very surprised at the end since I had no idea who was behind all that was happening. I have read several of Cook's books as well as other medical thrillers but I think this was one of the best that I had ever read!

Almost on the edge of my seat till the end! I fell off!

the story was a good story because i didn't know what was going to happen till the end, and, yes, I did fall off of my bed reading it! OOPS. I would recommend it for someone who like to see a plot thicken in front of their faces! Some other books I have read by him are Harmful Intent and Outbreak. I just started reading Mutation, so... Good Reading

i love his books

I find Robin Cook's novels very interesting and helps me understand more medical terms. His books are an inspiration to a learning person who wishes to know more about the medical field. I'm only a kid myself but i have read almost all his books: Terminal,Mutation,Invasion,Fatal Cure,Blindsight,The year of the intern,Sphinx,Acceptable Risk,Coma,Brain,Chromosome6 and a lot more i cant remember them all.
