Rating:  Summary: Review of Implant Review: Better than any of Robin Cook's novels! This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! It was a fast-paced thrill-a-minute! I love it
Rating:  Summary: Kept my attention throughout. Review: First book that I read by Wilson. Very interesting storyline. Not the typical type of book for me to read, prefer something by King or Koontz, but a welcome break.
Rating:  Summary: Not up to normal Wilson standards Review: From such a great writer as Wilson, Implant cannot help but be a disappoinment. The main problem is the character of Duncan Lathram. As a bad guy, he just does not work. From a narrative point of view, his motives for his actions were too understandable. He had a reason, and a good one. (What???s a few dead senators?) He is therefore entirely too sympathetic to despise as a villain. And, anyway, how can you hate a guy who likes a good cup of coffee? Only when he turns on our heroine, did I feel any animosity toward him, and even then, he felt so bad about having to do it, I just pitied him. Suspension of disbelief is a little trying at points and there???s a line of dialogue at the end that just took me right out of the book. It was a quick read, however, and I enjoyed being taken on the ride, I just didn???t like the scenery.

Rating:  Summary: Good Read.....Movie-Like Structure Review: Good story line. Well written. Wilson keeps the reader interested. I couldn't help but feel that this book would make a really good movie (that's not meant as a negative comment). I definitely recommend the book, however, for Wilson fans, don't expect the up-all-night read ala The Adversary Cycle collection.
Rating:  Summary: Loved it! Review: Had a hard time putting this one down. Great plot, and very likeable characters. Highly recommended!
Rating:  Summary: You won't put this one down! Review: I had a hard time putting this book down to go to sleep. I was intrigued with the dark behavior, the suspects, what the implant is (or might be), the people, and the story. I kept reading, page after page, because I couldn't put it down. Then, oh my, the ending, great twists! I always try to figure out what it will be, but when I read this -- all of the pieces fit together in a way I didn't expect, yet when I read it I thought, "What a great way to end this book."

Rating:  Summary: Intelligent and Highly Entertaining Review: I love medical thrillers and nobody writes them better than F. Paul Wilson. Implant is one of the most intelligent and enjoyable books in this genre. The characters are well-developed and interesting. The plot is suspenseful and inventive. Dr. Lathram is positively chilling. I would definitely recommend this entertaining book to anyone. I agree with another reviewer that said this book would make a great movie.
Rating:  Summary: a very fun read. Review: I loved this book even though the ending was a little far-fetched. By then, I was sucked in and loving it! This is the first F.Paul Wilson I've read and I just ordered four more.
