Product Description

Review

'Like John Grisham and Patricia Cornwell, the author, a practising doctor from Florida, mines his professional life for clever plots and gruesomely convincing details' (DAILY MAIL).

Product Description

The latest harrowing novel from the best-selling master of the medical chiller A seizure has to be one of the most frightening conditions known to the medical profession, and ever since publication of COMA (basis of an outstanding film) Dr Cook has been scaring us with his visionary insight into the most alarming possibilities of his own profession. Long recognised as the master of medical thrillers, Robin Cook once again combines a fascinating scenario with cutting-edge suspense and the bold strokes of everyday reality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but terrible ending, 24 Sep 2003
I was terribly disappointed with Cook's last book - Shock, so I was expecting better things from this one and initially I was very pleased. The plot developed and I thought it was going along nicely. I was a bit suprised that it was again centred on the infamous Wingate Clinic from Shock, but hey..if the story was OK..who cared?
I won't expand on too much of the plot...you can read the blurb on the jacket, but the ending is terrible. It's almost as though Cook got fed up and just ended it!! There were SO many unanswered questions, questions that he himself had gone out of his way to build in to the story, the brother and the New York mob, the authorities reaction to the whole procedure, the implications for the Wingate Clinic... the list goes on.
Mr Cook, if you're not going to complete your novels, then don't publish them!
I have all of Cook's books and they seem to have gone downhill since the ludicrous Abduction.
My advice, if you hanker after the Cook of old...pick up some of the novels of Michael Palmer to see what you have been missing!!

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT AS BAD AS THE LAST ONE, BUT ALMOST !, 5 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Seizure (Cook, Robin) (Hardcover)
The story doesn't grab you the way his earlier novels did. It's superficial and doesn't have the depth of detail which we came to expect from Mr Cook.

For a book entitled " Seizure " it doesn't even cover this until the last couple of chapters. The sloppy medical procedure on not having the right equipment to minimise the risk of a seizure following a medical procedure to the brain was not believable ! Although I am not a medical person I don't think the book covered the subject of epileptic seizures in a very realistic or constructive fashion. It would be more likely to frighten you into having a seizure !

The majority of the book was more about the protagonists gread and ego's.

I wouldn't recommend this book and am seriously considering not buying any more.

1.0 out of 5 stars very disappointing, 28 Sep 2003
I agree completely with John Corbett who has also left a review on this book. What a disappointment! In addition to what Mr Corbett says, there is soooooo much medical jargon that I found myself just glossing over pages. I used to love Robin Cook and he is one author who I always look forward to publishing a new book however next time he has a new book out I shall wait till I can buy it 2nd hand. Come on Robin, don't let us down again.
