Title: Mutation is quick to read but bad for the brain
Review: In Robin Cook's Mutation, many classical creator vs. creation themes are addressed, reminiscent of Marry Shelly's "Frankenstein." Cooks new take on a very relevant issue in today's technological world is a misfire and fails to transfer the true emotional impact bioengineering would have on Cook's faceless, dauntless, trite, and almost cold characters. Cook uses his broad knowledge of medical jargon to keep the reader interested, but fumbles when plot twists become incomprehensible and unimaginative. I would recommend this book to someone in the mood for a quick one-day read, or someone on a long flight home. I wouldn't expect to be changed much as a person though, maybe just annoyed and ready to go to bed.
