Title: Good idea, poorly writen
Review: I have read all of Robin Cook's books, and have noticed quite a decline in the past few titles. However, Toxin certainly is the worst written in quite a while. An interesting and potentially fascinating look at the subject matter is lost by poor character development, dispicable dialogue and irrational actions. Along with the revealing information on E. coli and the meat processing industry, this book is also a commentary on the American medical system. Obviously, the author is not pleased with its current direction, but he does not use realistic examples to get the point across. Perhaps Dr. Cook should take a breather; I wouldn't mind waiting a few years for his next title if it could be well written.Bottom line: a struggle to finish.
