4.0 out of 5 stars Occasionally Confusing, Nov 5 2004

By	Ez (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews

Dr Charles Martel is a cancer researcher, whose first wife died from lymphoma. Now their daughter Michelle has myeloblastic leukaemia, and Charles thinks she got it from benzene dumped in the local pond. An interesting idea (I rather do like medical thrillers), but characterisation was poor, and the book was occasionally frustrating. Mind you, it was published in 1982, if that accounts for anything.

By	"slugger2204" (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fever (Hardcover)

I am a 17 year old senior in high school. We had to pick a book for an anatomy project. I picked this book because it is kind of non fictional. I LOVED IT!!!! It is kind of slow to get into but about 15 pages in I couldnt put it down!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent medical thriller, Dec 5 2002

By	Jorge Frid (Mexico City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fever (Paperback)

One of the best books of Robin Cook, it will keep you reading all the time, it also will show you that a family must stand together no matter what and that you must trust your wife or husband, at the end, is not out of the reality, at first you will think that that end is not possible, but when you read the explanation of why it can be you will believe it.
