Title: Mutation Falls Short
Review: Robin Cook's Mutation is a book that deals with unrealistic situations and elaborate descriptions. Characterization in this book failed miserably and it is hard to feel a connection with any of these characters in the novel. Because of this, the reader has a hard time caring what happens and his/her feelings for the book generally decrease. The "cookie cutter" characters used in this book were unrealistic and did not develop signifigantly throughout the novel.Description played a double role in this book. It is very elaborate and detailed but in many cases was unnecessary and drawn out. Cook describes such things as highway exits and street signs but this does nothing for the novel. The end of this book was the best part because it was finally over.
