Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I couldn't even finish this
Review: I suppose I should have actually finished the book to review it, but hey, I know what is going to happen!

This is just ridiculous. I started reading Robin Cook in the late 70's, and loved his books. The last few years though....it is like he is just trying to crank out anything, the more outlandish the better.

There were too many coincidences. In a city of how many million? And it goes on and on.

I hope Dr. Cook gets back to writing the way he used to. Dr. Kay Scarpetta does not need competition from Dr. Jack Stapleton!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pure, unadulterated CRAP!!
Review: Hard to believe this was written by Robin Cook. Protagonists are nothing but politically-correct nitwits, villians are one-dimensional, and plot is completely unbelievable. Entire novel is suffused with politically-correct mantras. Continues the decline in the quality of Cook's literary work. Very dissappointing!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: important food for thought in today's world of terrorists
Review: This is an average Robin Cook novel, which is to say a somewhat contrived and predictable plot line, but also that Dr. Cook says important things within the context of his boox. He tries to keep it interesting, which he succeeds at here as in the others, while reminding the reader of real conditions and threats in the world. He did this with contaminated meats in "Toxin" and does it again with the terrorist threat of biological warfare here in "Vector." I read his novels every year and am never disappointed in the lessons i come away with. Food for thought.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It kept me interested!
Review: I have read most of Robin Cook's work and this one was not a disappointment. His charecters are true to life. The plot had me hooked.( I even investigated "skinheads on the internet")I always look forward to any new book he writes!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intense tale of bioweapons and terrorists
Review: I'm your typical 16 year old kid. I never read outside of school much because I thought it was a waste of time. Then my dad read this book and suggested it to me. I read the preview-thingie on the jacket and thought I'd give it a try. Once I started reading, I was immediately hooked. I loved Jack's character. I'm going to have to read Chromosome 6 now; I wish I could have read them in the right order though, oh well.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well worth hearing on cassette, but not reading.
Review: The story is good, but not as dramatic and action packed as it could be. If I had read it, more than likely I would have thrown it away about half way through! On a positive note, the beginning of the story gives meaning for the rest of the story. Which has an ammusing (almost ironic) twist of fate!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: He has done much better
Review: robin cook's books always interest me and i look forward to reading them!! this one did not keep my interest as the others always have. the effort did not appear to be there. At times it was just a a disertation on biological warfare.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It was OK
Review: This book wasn't too bad. I was getting a little bored in the middle, and was trying to hurry through to get to the end. I'm glad I didn't give up on it, but not the most exciting book I've ever read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The book was full of action, and I never put it down!
Review: The beginning was fabulous, the end was awesome. The plot progression in the middle sections were phenominal. This book combines action, witts, and even a touch of romance. The way Dr. Cook portrays Yuri is fabulous. All in all a great book. Also, you can't forget Dr. Cook's massive knowledge of Science, which makes his books even more interesting. It's a must read! Also- Read Toxin by Robin Cook.
