Negative Positive
Title: Dr. Cook is in dire need of an editor or a ghost-writer.
Review: Robin Cook has always told a good story, filled with good science. His writing skills, particularly in terms of dialogue, have always been weak, but he hits a new all-time low with Toxin. Has this guy gone his entire life without ever having heard two normal humans converse? No one on the planet speaks the way Cook's characters do. I've read all of his works, have enjoyed most and have learned a little something with each experience. But Toxin was the end of the line for me. A first-class stinker all around.
