Move Over Robin Cook,
By A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Final Diagnosis (Paperback)
When Claire is admitted to a state-of-the-art medical institute in Miami, she has every reason to trust its brilliant staff-until the inquiries of her friend, a medical reporter, spring an inescapable trap of corporate greed and deadly corruption.For a first time author, this guy has a great start. After reading all of Robin Cook & Michael Palmer's books I wanted someone new. I happened to come across Final Diagnosis. This book was a thrill ride right to the very end. The plot was well thought out and developed. Birken does a great job of setting the plot and keeping you in suspense until the end. Can't wait to read the next book.

Birken's inexperience shows,
By
This review is from: Final Diagnosis (Paperback)
It is evident that this is the first book from a man with another profession. He seems to follow some obvious and tiresome formulas. Every character, upon each new meeting, has his clothing described in detail. Also, though this book is from the "perspective" of Erin, the female protagonist, it is clearly written by a man with a titillating fascination for how a woman behaves alone in her own hotel room, or how a sexually aggressive woman would seduce a hesitant man. I do admit, though, that the story flowed well enough, and I was curious enough to keep reading. I'm not sorry I read it, but it's clearly not any great literature. There is clearly better medical fiction out there.

My Diagnosis Is That This Is A Must Read,
By
This review is from: Final Diagnosis (Paperback)
This is undoubtedly the most thrilling book I have ever read. The plot of the book is electrifying and original. The details provided by Dr. Birken about the characters allows the reader to feel as though he/she has known the characters for years. I was unable to put down the book until its conclusion. The last book that I have read of such excellence as this book was Catcher in the Rye. I am looking forward to reading his second book and am greatly anticipating the release of his third. There is no doubt in my mind that you will love reading this book
