Summary: A different and interesting Cook
Review: Being Cooks first book, it also is one of his best, but is not to be compared to his trash novels nowadays. It gives an interesting insight on his own feelings and experiences of internship in line with Samuel Shem's "House of God." This is not for the faint-hearted - otherwise you might choose to medicate yourself before ever entering a hospital again.

Summary: Great book for doctor wannabes
Review: GREAT book. I must have read 5 times. Engaging writing style, sharp wit, and a great story line. Sounds very truthfull, and at times, scary. If you are thinking of becoming a doctor, this is definetely a book for you. My only problem with this book is that it was written in the eighties, and so could be outdated.

Summary: Excellent book written by excellent author read by ...
Review: I dont like medical dramas writtem nowadays but Cook's Intern is one of most beautiful medical dramas I have ever read (2 of them so far.) the description of all that happened is so realistic, that one begins to think how it really goes. I have read this book in Slovak language, but I... I just like this book. Congratulations Mr. Cook!

Summary: Simply amazing
Review: I have been a frequent reader of Robin Cook's books since I was probably 14 or 15. Now, at 19, I read this book last year shortly before leaving for college. Since I am hoping to eventually go to medical school, I figured this would be a book to read and it was. I absolutely loved every single second of it and could hardly put it down. This is definitely a book for anyone interested in medicine to read.

Summary: the best of the 'Cook books' I've read
Review: I stumbled on this book by finding a checkout slip in a library book (Virus X) and being a biologist with an interest in the medical field, wondered if these book written by a 'real doctor' might be marvelous. I got really interested when I saw how many book were written by Robin Cook. Someone must love his writing style in order to keep publishing his works, right?!?!? Well, this one is the only one of the 4 I've read that were worth my time! A revealing look at the life-style of the 'captive' intern jumping through the hoops necessary to make it to the 'real world of medicine'. The sleep deprivation, the 'old boy' school, the dissing of the intern by those further along the path. Sad but true.

Summary: Great book for doctor wannabes
Review: The Year of the Intern is not a good book. If your wanting a good medical thriller to read, this is not the Robin Cook book for you. Though fiction, it reads as non-fiction as Cook takes us into the life of a medical student's internship in Hawaii. I struggled, at times, to understand the medical jargon which took away from any enjoyment I might have been getting from reading the book.

Summary: IT'S GOOD FOR STUDENTS
Review: This book is excellent for students who are looking to become doctors. I don't feel that this book is like a thriller. It is in some ways, but it really dosen't have a story. It's good to read to find out what is going on behind the scenes.

Summary: Insight into the mind of an Intern
Review: This is a great book. Whether you like Robin Cook or not you should give this book a read. His first novel and very different to his thrillers, this book follows the journey of an intern's mind through his year placement. It will certainly give people a different perspective of the medical world. The book was written in the 70's but somehow (sadly) I don't think the life of a fledging doctor has changed to this day...
