Title: Too trashy to be gripping
Product review: The subject of this book is very interesting, and the story engages at first. But it tries too hard to keep the pace going, at the expense of credibility. It's also let down by poor writing in many places. Subjects like this need more insightful treatment, and less schlock horror. And strong writing wouldn't go amiss either. Sadly most of the other medical/bio-tech authors I've come across, don't provide this either. Or maybe the publishers think that to get a mass audience a thriller needs to be dumb. Pity.
