Adverse Reaction

Rating:
Summary: Corporate Reality
Review: In a fast reading, intriguing and all too possible tale of Corporate greed and its' consequences, the author lays out an insider's determination to seek the truth. Written with first hand experience in the field, the author blends the publicly stated highly principled goals of a very large pharmaceutical company with the selfish and costly personal ambitions of its' top executives. Under a cloud of a possible murder, the suspicious executive, a prime benefactor of the death, wrestles with the tasks of his new position while satisfying his own curiosity and at the same time taking respite in illicit sex at the expense of his own family. Mr. Potter brings it all to a conclusion that just as in real life leaves the reader wondering what will happen now. I look forward to Mr. Potter's next book.

Summary: Good reaction
Review: My reaction to this book is overwhelmingly favourable.
As a first novel it is very impressive indeed, and I hope that Robert Potter puts his obvious literary talent to further use.
As someone not heavily into computers, I found the first few pages of Adverse Reaction somewhat IT-heavy. And I think the denouement is a bit abrupt. Apart from that,however,I found the story an excellent read. It moves along at a cracking pace, and I was keen to keep reading and get speedily to the end of the plot.The mixture of a quest for a magic cancer drug, ruthless corporate politics, criminality and over the desk hanky-panky works very well, and might well interest someone with a TV series to make.This could be the start of something big.

Summary: POSITIVE REACTION!
Review: One word - EXCELLENT! I couldn't put it down once I started.

I'm a big fan of Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum and Dale Brown. Bob Potter is now in that same group for me.

In the beginning it reminded me a lot of DISCLOSURE by Crichton - well crafted.

A very enjoyable read. Only one complaint - TOO SHORT!

Can't wait to see his next work!
