Negative Positive
Title: Toxin was a huge dissapointment for this reader.
Review: This book was purchased in hardcover with expectations of the usual level of quality of the Robin Cook novel. A waste of money was my reward. Within the first two chapters the reader knows who the bad guy is, what will happen to the main characters and all of the main players who will be involved. The anger of the main character was the sole focus of most of the writing and became old so fast. I forced myself to read the first 150 pages and then could bear no more. I am disappointed that the editor and publisher let this one out when they had to know how poorly it was written. One can only assume that they were willing to ride on the name of Robin Cook. This is insulting to the reader as it assumes that we will read any drivel they put in front of us. As a result, this reader will never put out the money for a hard cover Robin Cook novel again. It will either be paperback or better yet, the library for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
