Title: Interesting till Cook got tired near the end
Review: I had trouble sympathizing with the good surgeon and his whining about billings and HMO's. However, Cook did portray the prima donna aspect of the surgeon quite well. And I know of what if speak as I work in a hospital (although a Canadian one). However, several bits at the end troubled me and made me think Cook was eager to finish this book off (maybe his beeper went off?) The ending was unsatisfying, not in the way his characters handled everything, but in how several plot lines disappeared. And how was the good surgeon and his ex-wife going to escape the country after the news was released? And how come no one cared about what happened to the veterinarian? And why did Cook tar the entire legal system (and hence justify the surgeon's reluctance to go to the police) with a quick throw away line about the O.J trial? Next time, turn your beeper off and finish the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
