Customer Reviews

I went to school with Mr. Langello

The basic premise of the book was highly creative, topical, and rather eerily plausible. I found myself less convinced by the antagonists' motivation. The main character is a likeable lady with the ever-compelling biological imperative of motherhood, but the idea of a big fat pregnant lady running around in her third trimester and snooping quietly around the evil sub-basements of a fertility clinic was a bit of a strain on my disbelief-suspending machinery. I knocked off one star for this implausible behavior on the part of a pregnant woman, but it's just my opinion, really, and no reflection on the overall worth of the book. It's suspenseful, interesting, and even though I resent the author for being successful in his creative endeavors when I myself have failed miserably throughout my life, I recommend it for anybody who is considering in vitro fertilization....

A spell-binding Novel about cloning.

Good book. A must to those who like Robin Cook

a perfect page turner

it's a very,very good book.You must read it, and I'm sure you'll be surprised. This is Mr. Langello amazing idea!

The ending leaves you angry. Will there be another book?

Good book. However, the ending makes you angry because you want the story to continue so we can learn which baby she had and how the other women dealt with their own child.

Highly Enjoyable

I'd like to say that i finished this book in one day. I found it spellbinding and exiting. It is very well written. I passed it on to all of my friends, and they enjoyed it greatly as well. It was the first medical thriller I'd ever read, and because the author has not written any other books, I turned to such authors as Robin Cook and Michael Palmer. The writing style is very similar. Fans of Cook and Palmer will enjoy The Clinic.
