Pros: well-researched, many places where you 'can't put it down' Cons: none
This is the first Robin Cook book I read, and it was really good. It starts with a little historical fiction from the 1690's, and provides some insight into a possible cause of the Salem witch trials--ergotism. Ergotism is poisoning by ingestion of a ...
Pros: Contains some interesting ideas Cons: Bad writing, bad dialogue, flat characters, no soul
I really love my book club. It is comprised of a handful of rural women who get together about once a month, mostly to gossip about the neighbors and have a few glasses of wine. Our last meeting was on St. Patrick’s day, and I made Irish coffee as a...
Pros: Good characters, storyline,ok, grabs you in Cons: you might need a dictionary for the medical terms..
My friend was moving and asked me if i wanted this book, and i said sure, why not? Being the avid reader that i am i just added it to my book collection and didn't think twice about it til i got bored and was looking for something new to read.I'm not...
Pros: Believable characters Cons: A little too long
Not really knowing what this book was about, I picked it up to read it anyway, just because I like the author. It was a perfect story for reading during the Halloween season. It is a modern story centered around the Salem witch trials. A woman...
Pros: Interesting mix of Salem and medicals Cons: It is WAY too long and drug out
I borrowed this book on tape set from the library thinking that Robin Cook is a reputable author and that this was a great way to pass a 3 hour long drive and a couple of work commutes. It was horrid!
Pros: Exciting, intriguing and plausible Cons: Somewhat dated and smarmy
The basic concept of this book was very interesting and entertaining, and I followed along almost exclusively for the plotline of how Cook would explain the "true" reasons for the Salem witch "epidemic". Cook gives a well-researched and plausible ...
Pros: a great mystery Cons: not quite his work but still a good book
Another great book by Robin Cook. This is the second book that I've read of his and I am already looking forward to book number 3.
This book wasn't like his first that I read, but it was still a great book that was very hard to put down....
Pros: suspenseful, plausible, interesting Cons: slow in places
One evening I settled down by the fire to read the book I had been looking forward to all week. After reading several of Cook's other novels I was excited to read this one. It was definitely not a disappointment.
I won't claim to have read all of his books, but I've read quite a few. This one, in my epinion, is the best one yet. The plot is thick from the beginning and it almost made me want to go out and research the Salem Witch Trials and kindled in me an...
Pros: Interesting book Cons: Wasn't as informative as I would have liked
This book has a lot of information about the Salem witch trials in it. It begins in present time and with descendant of one of the victims of the trials. Because of research she found out that her family member wasn't even mentioned in the records of...
As the bestselling master of medical suspense, Robin Cook has always always been on the cutting edge of the latest medical controversies. In Acceptabl...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
