Title: He gets paid to write?
Review: "Contagion", by Robin Cook, is not yet another disease apocalypse novel. Instead, it is more of an extended essay on the evils of for-profit hospitals and corporations that spend on advertising and worry about the bottom line rather than spending money to improve care.It's a flawed book. First and foremost is Cook's clumsy, wordy prose. The characters are two-dimensional, and the plot, despite being wildly improbable, somehow manages to be predictable. And the pacing is terrible! For example, the climax drags on and on long past when anyone smarter than a soybean would have figured out how the bad guys are going to get their just desserts. It's painful.I managed to finish the novel; I recommend that you don't start.
