3.0étoiles sur 5 DEATH RATTLES, Fév 18 2004
Par Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mortal Fear (Paperback)
Cook once again serves us up a hero who decides to become a private investigator and research things he should leave to the police. At least in this one, the police are one step behind him. Cook gives us his standard sciene gone wrong plot, although fascinating at times and extremely readable. Cook is no great writer, but he manages to hook his audience, and enable us to root for the good guy even though most of the time they act like juveniles.
Readable.

5.0étoiles sur 5 IF YOUR ONLY GONNA READ ONE BOOK IN YOUR LIFETIME..., Janv. 20 2003
This review is from: Mortal Fear (Paperback)
I'm not exactly a huge fan of Robin Cook. I actually never heard of him until I read this. I read a lot of books, and I think this is the best I've ever read. I'm not even into the whole medicine thing but I found this book most interesting on many levels. He slowly builds up the suspence until you just can't take it anymore! I finished reading this book in less than a day. I couldn't put it down! That's never happened to me before!!!

I definatley recommend this book to anybody, even if you don't like reading! It's guaranteed to hold your interest. Someone should make a movie out of this! WOW!

2.0étoiles sur 5 This IS the Weakest Link, Sep 30 2002
Par Un client
This review is from: Mortal Fear (Paperback)
This is the most disappointing Robin Cook novel I've read. The novel's protagonist, internest Dr. Jason Howard, is a middle-aged widower who sold his practice and signed a contract with an HMO organization after his wife's death. Unfortunately, this backstory is the most interesting part of the novel. The premise is smart, but the plotting is inexplicably weak. Howard is a nice, hardworking, affable doctor who contends with the plethora of daily outpatients in an HMO-owned facility. Suddenly, a colleague invites him to dinner, says he discovered something incredibly and then dies. The reader is then thrust into the story. The villain is sorrily predictable. Once you read the description of this character in the early part of the book, it's obvious that they're the evil mastermind behind Howard's colleague's demise and the strange course of events that follow. The most interesting character in the novel is Carol Donner, an exotic dancer who had a fling with said dead colleague. She's fascinating, but little is revealed about her and you wonder why she's there at all.

I've been thrilled with the Cook books I've read. If you are too, do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
