Summary: Excellent novel-one of the better ones I've read
Review: Robin Cook's new book "Vector" is a very, very interesting book. The details and descriptions it contains are really interesting. This book is very realistic and deals with a realistic threat. This book I strongly recommend to anybody who is interested in biological terrorism

Summary: I loved it!
Review: After reading some of the reviews on this board, I was kind of scared to start this book. But since I'd paid for it, I knew I'd have to start sooner or later, so I decided on sooner. I loved the book. I enjoyed the characters, the different places in the city that they visited, the touch of romance, and the fast action. Now granted I haven't ready many of Robin Cook's books so if the plot in this book is very similar to those in his other works, I wouldn't know. But for me, this was one of the better books I've listened to lately. And in fact, I've already recommended it to a friend.

Summary: A great book, but not a very serious read.
Review: Having read several of Robin Cook's books, I think this book is the most amusing one I have ever read. But I liked this book mainly because of how true it really is. Bio-terrorism is something *everyone* has to be wary of. Unfortunately, Cook gets a little too humourous in one part of the book, namely when the bad guys are trying to get Jack. The sequence of events seem like something out of Bill Fitzhugh's Pest Control, where even the impossible happens. After all, how hard can it be to catch one guy? Very hard, according to Cook. All in all, this book is one of my favourites because his other books are usually very depressing to read, usually involving one helpless individual who has uncovered a cover-up of mega-proportions. The humourous tone is a welcome change.

Summary: predictable
Review: I have read all of Robin Cook's books. However off late each one is becoming more and more predictable. There is hardly anything to hold as suspense. Completing the book was just going through the motions. I would still prefer the God Player, Harmful Intent types.

Summary: There were better books by R.Cook
Review: I was a great fan of Robin Cook as I myself am a M.D., but he is going down so quickly. Maybe not as bad as his previous one "Toxin", but still so straight forward, without any imagination... You can guess from the first few chapters what will happen next... I hope for a better R.Cook book for the next time...

Summary: Like a sequel to Chromosome 6
Review: I found the book to be very enjoyable but, maybe I have read too many Robin Cook novels, because I found it very predictable. If you have read Chromosome 6, you will be able to guess who will end up saving Jack. This book just did not surprise me like the others had, but still very much worth reading.

Summary: Enthralling, but follows the same lines as his past book
Review: Vector was a great book and keep me turning the pages late into the night. However, if you have read his past books then you are familar with the patterns that all his books follow. This book is no different. Vector is informative and frieghtening, but predictable. I enjoyed it and will read it again.

Summary: I want a refund.
Review: To quote the staff writer/reviewer of the Sun Sentinel, Bill Hirshmann, "To say that Vector is not as bad as Robin Cook's last bio-medical thriller Toxin, is like saying that breaking your leg isn't as bad as breaking your neck." Cook was great early on, but now his work is so rotten and hard to believe it got published, let alone stellar reviews from all of the so called reviewers, I guess they know who pays them for their BS reviews, huh? Those reviews made me spend my hard earned money for a bunch of crap! How dare these people tout garbage that has been done over and over again just because Mr. Cook had a few earlier hits. Get an editor, not some big marketing corporation to recycle the same thing over and over. The First Horseman, by Mr. Case was excellent, brisk and full of sharp, quick dialogue. I am really sick of being conned by the phony reviews. There was an incredibly stupid scene in Vector where the bad guy neo Nazis beat up a gay couple. How many times does the same stuff reappear. I read Greenwald's Spear of Golgotha last year, and it was the freshest book I seen in years. Too bad the people so out of touch in New York just want to keep recycling alive. Cook, go back to opthalmology.

Summary: A great thriller, although a little too convenient
Review: This was the first book I'd read by Cook, and in fairness to him, I will say it inspired me to keep reading his work. Good plot, VERY good ending (completely caught me by suprise). However the way Mr. Cook ties in his character relationships IS a bit too convenient, but in a certain sense, that adds to the charm of the book. Definitely an entertaining read. He also keeps the terminology simple, which makes it enjoyable and understandable to the layperson as well.
Rating:
Summary: Most parts were good
Review: Most of the parts of this book were good. The parts about the foreign guy and his wife were a little hard to get through, but the parts with Jack and Laurie were, as always, enjoyable to read.
