You dont have to be a bio/medi to understand Robin Cook. I read Chromosome 6 last year and loved it! I've read all robin cook's myself.

EDIT: Try Matthew Reilly and Clive Cussler. Love those works :p

I was standing in the line at Jashanmal (Al Ghurair Center in Dubai) at 3 AM for the Harry Potter last book. And from the 4th book, I've stood in the line in mornings to buy HP books.

For the first time after J K's HP, I'm little despo to get hold of CB's book. I loved FPS, loved ON@CC even more! For Rs 95 it's a steal.

ok i have read 85 pages of 3 mistakes and i must say I am NOT disappointed, it is pretty much what y9ou would expect, the ppl who are complaining I guess did not read the prologue carefully, the tone & pace of the book was well laid out in 1 sentence and it is a good book so far, apt 1 liners are there, they are there where they should be, the book deals with politics, cricket & lives of ordinary boys who aren't as swanky as Call centers ppl neither are they as intelligent as IItians

3 mistakes... sucks. Read yesterday itself. Not recommended. The book is like a soft porn fiction? "Mother pimping businessman", "sister ****ing people", and the f-word used in liberal that it'll start irritating you.


Reading Lottery by Verginia Woof (it's in Orange BB Booker Prize longlist). It's damn funnier than The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time .

for 1 his books are no literary jewels, his language is that of an normal college going guy, i hear the f word more often by my frenz, his books are meant for the guys who are not regular readers of some booker prize winner and certainly they will find flaws in the way he writes, his language is simple, his one liners are great, his comparisons are humorous, the way he describe the moments with between the male & female leads is very practical something that has happened in most normal college goers life, they hope & wish to happen in their lives

Yeah man.. that's the reason I liked his first two books. I went to Landmark 2 times, only to return back disappointed. In fact I liked One Night @ better than FPS. This books sucks anyways. The story itself was flawed.

Did you read? I'm sure many will agree with me..
 
Name of the Book: Fatal Cure
Author of the book: Robin Cook

Review:

this book is about problems in managed hospital care, where money is more important than patient well being. A couple with a sick daughter seek a new life at a hospital, where a series of deaths is found. There are a series of twists and turns in the story, though two of the culprits can be found by us easily, half way through the story, but are never discovered by the characters till the end. So much for sherlock holmes, but there IS a pipe smoking private detective in the story. There are no cheap jokes, its sometimes an emotional thriller, the lack of suffitient violence is made up by the number of deaths in the story, and there is also some love, though of a different kind, within the story. It (unfortunately) has a happy ending.

Rating: 9.999/10(one can never be perfectthen there is the tiny lack of suspense)

this thing is a masterpiece. Get your copy right now if you are a fan of adult fiction. But warning, sometimes, especially for the lil kiddies here, it might appear too complicated
