Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: This is Robin Cooks best! I read this within 24hrs , I just could not put it down. It sure makes you think about the meat industry.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Scary.
Review: In true Robin Cook style, this book makes one wonder if these things really happen. Robin Cook truly scares me. I love his work and read everything he writes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: intensely facinating
Review: Toxin is the first of Robin Cook's books that I have read.From start to finish I couldn't put it down.I must say the ending was abrupt.What happened to the reporter's daughter?Anyway the subject certainly gives you something to think about.Can't wait to read his other titles!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dumb and dumber.
Review: This book proves one thing...Anyone can write a book, but you don't have to do it very well. What was the publisher thinking?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most gruesome book ever!
Review: Chromosome 6 was the first book I read by this author. Then I saw Toxin. Intrigued by the E. Coli virus, I picked this book.

I was completely hooked from the start, even though some parts were rather unrealistic.

But Toxin is a very, very depressing book. My guess is that Dr Cook worte it during a depressing period in his life. It shows the dark side of life, where profits are everything.

One question remains in my mind: How true is it? Would the esteemed author care to let me know?

A last warning: If you have eaten a burger within the past week, do *NOT* touch this book...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Robin Cook has done it again!
Review: This was a New York Times bestseller, and deservingly so. Although the truth is sometimes shocking, in my opinion this novel presents it with restraint yet in a manner that holds you spellbound. A must to read!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A below par effort for Cook....too much social commentary!
Review: The whole story gets lost in an attempt to make a social statment. The ending comes off as if Dr Cook either had a deadline or his printer ran out of paper. Even for Cook fans..stay away.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst book I have ever read. Ever.
Review: I have no words of praise at all for this book. It was so poorly written and the characters so poorly presented I was barely able to finish it at all. If I could give this book under 1 star, I would. The main character, Dr. Kim Reggis is such an egotistical maniac, I WANTED to see him lose his self imposed battle against the evil meat industry. When his daughter died, I was completely nonpulsed. Of course, so was Dr. Kim Reggis, so I didn't feel any complusion to be sympathetic. The writing was so bad, I just wanted the book to end. Robin Cook has written fabulous books, and I don't know what happened here. The characters simply flip from emotion to emotion like a person switching on a light switch. This was the worst book I have ever read. Ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No more hamburgers for me.
Review: I first read this book over a year ago. To this day, I have not eaten a hamburger - no small feat for this working mom of two young children.
