4.0étoiles sur 5 Appealing, Nov. 5 2004
Par Ez (Melbourne, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Acceptable Risk (Hardcover)
Kimberly Stewart investigates an ancestor linked with the Salem witch trials. Meanwhile, medical researcher Edward Armstrong thinks he's on the way to making a new anti-depressant. But the self-tests of the drug cause Edward and his team to have a frightening conflict with Kim. It took me a while to get into it, but it picked up. I reckon that the fact that I take anti-depressants (Zoloft) also made this story appealing. (A)

1.0étoiles sur 5 Didn't make it out of second gear., Mai 26 2004
Par Russell P. Maxwell "Russell Maxwell" (Salt Lake City) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Acceptable Risk (Paperback)
The most painfully slow book I've read in years. I don't think he made it out of first gear until about 3/4 the way through the book. With difficulty he finally shifted into second gear and by the end of the book was cruising at a not-so-exhilarating 30 miles an hour. The medical and scientific details are accurate and fairly well-written. The major subplots are "what's for dinner tonight," and "what will the plumber work on next." The dialogue is artificial and irritating. It reminds me of a dialogue from one of my third-grader's stories. Using words like "modicum" and "greasy spoon" I wonder if Mr. Cook could possibly have been born in the same century as the rest of us. I want my $7.00 back!

3.0étoiles sur 5 AGood Read, Fév 24 2004
This review is from: Acceptable Risk (Paperback)
Acceptable Risk by Robin Cook

Kim and Edward lack self-confidence. That all changes as they discover more about Kim's family history involving witchcraft in the town of Salem three-hundred-years ago...

This was my first venture into the world of Robin Cook and I was pleasantly surprised. His research and story planning kept me wondering what way his plot was going to take me. The medical references did get a little laborious mid way into the book but it didn't distract from my enjoyment.

Without giving away the eventual outcome I did feel that some parts towards the end were predictable. He refers to certain things that let you know they will be crucial to the story line towards the end.
I found that his characters were strong enough for me to identify with and to be interested in them enough to wonder how they would develop as the story progressed. Do not expect an action-packed thriller. This story relies on investigation and suspense, definitely worth reading.
