Summary: disappointing
Review: This effort seemed quite un-Robin Cook-like. Poor plot, stilted dialogue, and a departure from his expertise. I kept thinking I had picked up a poorly written Dean Koontz novel. I usually enjoy Mr.Cooks work very much which is perhaps why this particular piece was so disappointing to me. Expecting better works from this great author in the future.

Summary: What was he on?
Review: I could not believe that he wrote something so bad. it is definetly below his standards. The plot, the characters, everything was awful. If he actually put some thought into this novel, it would have been somewhat decent. Instead, it is a cheesy attempt to write a science fiction novel, when the author has almost no clue on how to do it. Cook should stick with the medical mysteries, it is what he is good at.

Summary: Great book, rushed ending
Review: I finished this book in about a week of non-stop reading. I thought it was great. It captivates you early on and the characters are well-described enough to keep you hooked. My only complain is that the ending seems rushed and hurried. It seems as though he just ran out of time and just ended the book. I would have liked a little more explanation and to know what some of the future events in the story were.

Summary: Good plot, great action, poor characters
Review: The people who are worked into this cleverly designed plot are the book's weakest point. Both men and women (particularly the women) act like marionettes manipulated by the author, even though he does his best to make them real by adding homy little details about their activities. Unfortunately, these are often so irrelevant that they distract from the story line. The science is sometimes a bit creaky, but the book's strongest point is it's fast-moving action. I HAD to find out what happened next, and couldn't put it down.

Summary: Good reading, but poor ending
Review: Invasion was an easy to read book. It was interesting and had a good plot building up, but the last 80 or so pages really let me down.

Summary: Exellent
Review: Robin cook is a genis. Once I started reading the book I couldn't stop. It full of action, adventure, and fun. I absolutely recommend the book.P.S. If anyone has a copy of the TV Mini series invasion on NBC, I would love to have a copy.

Summary: A Sci-fi Novel With Twists and Turns
Review: Robin Cook is brilliant. Invasion is an amazing book with many twists and turns that make the plot thicken every page. I have not yet finished it but I have only about 50 pages left and I began reading it two days ago. I could not stop reading it. I would stay up til 2 in the morning. The characters are in-depth and you start to take sides. And the amazing thing is it that I am only fourteen years old. I hardly ever read books. Buy the book.

Summary: Horrible Dialogue and aCheesy Plot make this book a disaster
Review: The most glaring and annoying flaw in this book is the wooden, stiff,dialogue. Not only is the dialogue stiff but the actual words the characters use to talk to each other are laughable. The cheesy plot is the other big blow to this novel, not only is the "aliens from outer space come to take over the earth plot" absolutely tired and overused but the book abounds with numerous cliches. All in all, simply save your money and don't shell out the money to buy this book.

Summary: Medical Thriller with a Touch of Sci-Fi
Review: I purposefuly wasn't going to buy this book when I found out it was Sci-Fi.....but a friend bought it for me for a birthday, and I've loved it ever since. It balances perfectly between the medical and sci-fi, and even if you don't appreciate sci-fi works, you'll be sure to love this.

Summary: A mindless one-sitting read
Review: Good escapism for an evening, but not all that well thoughtout or written. Mankind hangs on by a thread again!
