3.0 out of 5 stars Haven't I read this plot somewhere before?, 7 Feb 2004
By Danielle Hall - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Harvest (Hardcover)
This novel is well written, but pretty much a copy of "Coma" by Robin Cook. The medical detail is convincing (as you would expect from a writer who has been a doctor) but the plot is much less believable (as are the stereotypical Russian baddies). An entertaining read, but not one her best novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book, 9 Aug 2006
By Hugh Sutherland "hughs1206" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have really become a huge fan of Ms Gerritsen. Aside from her detailed scientific information, her books are always well written and planned out.
Harvest is very readable to say the least. She establishes her characters well and creates a increasingly steady atmosphere throughout the book.
This book was her first medical thriller and the writing may not be as developed as her more recent efforts but it is still a fantastic read.

A good book by all means, interesting medical detail and an interesting plot. However, I find her other work much btter, such as Body Double or The Surgeon.
