5.0 out of 5 stars Totally fantastic!, 15 Feb 2001
By O. SALIU (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read all Robin Cook's novels and this ranks third in my library (Invasion and Chromosome 6 are one and two). Nonetheless this is a book worth reading. Totally incredible and scarily plausible! Robin Cook is certainly the numero uno of medical thrillers!

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read!, 26 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This was a fantastic hard to put down novel. The inclusion of medical terminology along with the colourful characters completed this book, a fantastic twist....Im hooked on Robin Cook, he inspired me to Take up forensic pathology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book by a great author., 26 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Contagion is the number one book I have read in many a year. The character of 'Jack Stapleton' has to be, in my opinion, the best modern fictional character of the last 50 years or more. Robin Cooks' understand of human fears is exceptional. Roll on the next novel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing.
This was the first Robin Cook I have read and it may well be the last. The plot was implausible, the characters weak, the twist was laughable. Read more
