Title: Stunningly bad. Run, run from this book!
Review: Robin Cook's novel of genetic manipulation which creates a race of proto-human simians is laughable. My congratulations, however, go to him for apparently creating one of these creatures himself, as Chromosome 6 appears to have been edited by one of these self-same bonobo apes!This novel is tripe- absurd, unbelieveable characters (in particular the female characters assisting Kevin at the complex in Africa), dialogue that is beyond clumsy, the most howlingly bad, stereotypical mafiosi imaginable- I fail to see how any editor worth his salt wouldn't be forced to ask for an extensive rewrite.That is, of course, unless he were a genetically engineered chimp editing with a sharpened flint. Yup, that would be the only possible reason for this literary train wreck.
