Title: Mutations of Reality
Review: The book Mutations By Robin Cook is a basic medical thriller where a doctor mutates his son and throughout the book, in a variety of ways, it backfires on him. The characters in this book would be good, if they were believable. Take for instance VJ. A normal 11 year old boy would not have done most of the things he does in the book. However the book does have some very believable characters, like the mother. She is always worrying about how her kid is really smart and is always going to work with his dad when he can. His mom thinks that even though he's really smart he should still spend time with kids his own age. Throughout the book Cook uses a lot of description. For example, Cook always named street signs and exits. I understand that Cook is just trying to make it easier for the reader to create a mental picture in their head, but really all that detail is beside the point! The ending was kind of crazy and out there but, hey so was the whole book!
