The Select (Wheeler Large Print Book)

Summary: Awesome book!!
Review: I read this book quite awhile ago but never wrote a review for it. I can't recommend this one enough! I still remember it quite well even though I read it 2 years ago. This is one of the best medical thrillers I've ever read. I could not stop turning the pages to find out what would happen to these characters. You won't regret reading this one.

Summary: Very suspenseful
Review: I thought this book was extremely suspenseful from beginning to end. It certainly is a fast read..not a great literary work but fun and exciting. Take it to the beach or on a plane trip and have some page turning fun!

Summary: One of the best works of fiction I have ever read.
Review: The mere possibility of the events depicted in F. Paul Wilson's book 'The Select' makes one of the best, and scariest, books I have ever read. The book is written with knowledge that could only come from a man with first-hand experience in the medical profession. This novel is a page-turner from the beginning. It picks you up and sweeps you away, leaving you soaked long after you've finished. Wilson does not clog the pages with medical mumbo-jumbo that would leave the seasoned reader confused, but delights your senses with clever innuendoes and metaphors. This is a must-read for fans of medical thrillers.

Summary: Robin Cook clone
Review: This book was quite interesting but was not up to par with his previous work.While I'd recommend this book to friends,I'd tell them to read "The Keep" if they wanted to read Wilson at his best

Summary: This is the best book I've ever read in my 14 years!
Review: This is the most captivating and stunning book I've ever read in my 14 years on this earth. Wilson's wonderful method of writing keeps you on your toes throughout the entirety of this book. From cover to cover - surprises and challenges for your mind. It's simply great! I recommend it for any reader interested in medical, suspense or mystery themed books. Wonderful.

Summary: A First-Rate Medical Thriller!
Review: What a great book! It had all the makings of top notch medical thriller to rival even Robin Cook- suspense, action, and a thorough medical knowlege! Wilson did his homework, and it shows. What I liked best was the believability! It's easy to believe that an elist group could conspire as to what should be done about the impending medical/social crisis when the Babyboomers reach old age. Also, when Tim is paralyzed and struggling for Quinn to notice him, I was chilled! I found myself struggling right along with him!

Summary: The Select(ion)- Love Story or Thriller?
Review: Wilson has written two books, and combined them into one called The Select. He combines a love story between two medical students with a thriller about a medical conspiracy. We spend the first half of the book reading about Tim and Quinn, the two medical students, and how each likes the other. Tim is hitting on her in a playful way hoping to gain her love. She is always thinking how she'd like to be with him, but she has her studies so won't act upon her feelings. Throughout this we get a little dose of the conspiracy, but nothing really happens. Finally, Tim and Quinn realize their love, and the book changes focus to the conspiracy. The only real aspect of Tim and Quinn's "happy time" love is sex in a nearby hotel mentioned for about half a page. Then comes the conspiracy where the two lovers are seperated from each others and we really get to meet the "bad" guys. None of the "bad" are really evil, they think what they are doing benefits mankind. These characters, from the Senator, to security guards are great. They are complex people doing what they think is right, even though they know they would be arrested for doing it. I would have like to have seen these characters, especially Dr. Alston, developed more. Instead we get a 'this is why I'm doing what I'm doing' speech so the reader has a basic understanding of Dr. Alston. I would have liked to have seen what made him believe that what he is doing is the right thing. Overall, this is not a bad book, it just could have been much better. If Wilson had developed Dr. Alston to the length he developed Tim and Quinn, Wilson would have a much better book
