Title: Badly dated, overlong...but great 30 years ago.
Review: At the time this book was a huge hit, unfortunately because it has been copied and imitated so many times in 30 years, it is now badly dated and overlong:1. Too much is made of the woman vs. male profession (laughable now.)2. You need a medical degree to follow a lot of the explanations (although you don't really need to.)3. The book is now way too long given modern sensibilities, some imagery at the end is stunning, but you will figure it out long before the hero.4. Uses and re-uses over worn plot devices: (1) No one believes the hero (2) Good guys are really bad guys (3) Heroine outwits bad guy (4) young doc with great futureAgain, if you look at the old reviews this book was a big hit, but Robin Cook now writes more timely and more economically.
