Negative Positive
Title: Very Disappointed
Review: This is the first Robin Cook book I've tried and I certainly will not make the mistake again. Not only is Cook's prose awkward throughout, the plot gets more and more preposterous as the book progresses. The doctor goes to a TV reporter with information about a missing USDA inspector, finds human blood in the place she disappeared and is chased away from that spot by a knife-toting killer. The reporter's response? No story here. The same doctor is attacked again by the killer in his home. He and his wife barely escape. She suggests they call the police. No, he says. They wouldn't do anything. The doctor sneaks into a slaughterhouse under the pretense of being an illegal Mexican alien (with blond hair). But he speak only a few words of Spanish and uses English words like "pristine." It just goes on and on. I don't mind suspending belief a little, but the author gives his readers no credit at all in this book.
