I just finished reading Intervention. First I must say I liked the recurring characters of Laurie and Jack Stapleton. However the first part of the book was rather dry. I kept reading because I thought it would get better...it did'nt. I couldn't imagine how the two story lines connected and at the end of the book I found out how but it was somewhat of a let down as it was very predictable. Robin Cook has written some wonderful books. This wasn't one of them.

Naomi, I don't think anyone can explain the ending to you because it made NO sense. I doubt even Cook could explain it. Even if he plans a sequel to explain it, I won't be buying it. I don't waste my money on bad writing.

I did not understand the ending in Crisis.
Could someone explain the motive behind what was uncovered at the end of the book?
I have never had to have someone have to explain the ending of a book to me before.
How odd.

i'v jst finished 'MINDBEND'. all that i want to say that it's plot is great...& all the characters quite do justice to their roll given..but actually what i want to say that the ending is pretty much guessable to the readers...that's what when you'v jst ended the book;you might say that oow! this was obvious..& another thing..is it possible that arolen is unaware of the fact that dr. smith is in hospital though adam took the disguise of dr. smith & went straight to the cruise...the main thing i want to ask is how can a person hide his own voice & imitate someone for a long time when it was really a challenge to him to remember even the person's name?? i'd like to have an opinion from the reader's viewpoint...as well as from the author.

I have just finished Acceptable Risk. The parallel between Elizabeth and Kim was fascinating.
As I read the epilogue I found myself totally absorbed and filled with empathy for Kim as she "poked into the rubble of the castle." On page 297 I was stunned by an editor's oversight that read as follows:
"They stood for a time gazing at the askes. Finally Kinnard stuffested they move on. Elizabeth nodded." ELIZABETH? Yikes! It should have, of course, read, "Kim nodded." I got chills! Cook's storytelling is so powerful. I read and reread the sentence just to be sure I wasn't mistaken.
Perhaps someone else noticed this. I just had to find a place to tell someone.

In "Toxin" it seems like Dr. Reggis is ready to punch everyone out all the time. Can't he control himself?
Interesting book.

I just read Foreign Body; I was HORRIFIED by the ending, suggesting that any nurse who actually planned how & then executed the murder of a patient (and was allowing the murders of others) would be able to turn like a State's witness, avoid any punishment for the crime, and then it's suggested she'd be rewarded by "forgiving & understanding principles" of the story, and aided to further a career in medicine! Boy, have you been away from a real hospital setting for that long? As an RN for over 30 years I am SO disappointed! I have always enjoyed your stories before, but surely not this one.

I would say the subject of the book loosely relates to the life-cycle of a lemon.

I am doing a book report on Cook's Toxin. I am supposed to say how this book relates to biology using specific text examples. Except I can't really find anything like what its asking for. Would any body here know? I would really appreciate it.
