Summary: Great story!
Review: So maybe this book was a little far-fetched, but so what, it was a great story. There's never a dull moment in this one. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Quick Read but Disappointing
Review: Aspects of the book were suspenseful and quick-paced. However, in general, I felt that there were too many plot deviations that weighed the story line down instead of enriching it.

Summary: NOT ROBIN COOK'S BEST, BUT A GOOD ONE
Review: Robin Cook is an excelent writer; this no one can deny. Although TOXIN kept me turning the pages quickly, it was not his best. Sometimes the plot seemed too forced, and in other situations, the main character was so nervous that we could thought he was going to come to the real world and punch the reader. But when we reach page 180, the book gets better and it's almost impossible to put it down. I enjoyed it quite a bunch and I'd tell you to buy it. You'll won't be disappointed with Robin Cook. I think you'll never be. He's great. And Toxin, wonderful.Also recommended: CHROMOSOME 6 and MUTATION

Summary: A page turner that is far-fetched.
Review: Toxin was my fifth book by Robin Cook. The story kept me intrigued but became too far-fetched at the end. In Toxin, Robin Cook doesn't know when enough is enough.

Summary: so so
Review: The plot had too many holes. For example, when the USDA inspector was caught in the record room of the slaughterhouse wouldn't the management in reality at least hide the files she discovered the incriminating evidence in? Instead they returned the file so that it can be conveniently found again and stolen by the main character at the end of the book. Not believable.

Summary: Well...
Review: I did not particularly believe the extreme nature of Kim's outbursts. That and the fugitive ending. Oh, well. Other than that I did enjoy the book.

Summary: By Far One of Cook's Best!
Review: This book is a chilling reality shock and will keep you glued to your chair. Both an avid Cook fan and a healthcare worker myself; I believe Cook paints a vital and realistic picture of the effects of managed care. His stories to some seem far fetched, but they all could quite easily become a reality. The only thing I would change about the book is not to have to guess on the ending!

Summary: Makes you think twice
Review: My father is an MD,and has also worked in HMO's so I can relate to this somewhat. The book was fairly detailed which helped give it credibility. The book kept you in suspense, until the end when the story basically just stopped. I would definetely recommend reading this, though.

Summary: PREACHY WITH A SOUNDTRACK
Review: IF YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO HOW POOR UNDERPAID MDS ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH BIG BAD MANAGED CARE AND LISTEN TO AN ANNOYING SOUNDTRACK TO TELL YOU WHEN SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING, THIS IS YOUR BOOK--I'M A FAN OF HIS OTHER BOOKS BUT FORGET THIS ONE; AND THE MUSICAL ADDITION--WHAT'S NEXT-A LAUGHTRACK?

Summary: Awsome! ~I'm Sticking to Veggies~
Review: This is my first book by the author and I must say, I am very impressed!!! The whole book is full of excitment and at the same time, portrays the depths of a very corrupt industry. READ IT!
