Summary: Gerritsen's improving.
Review: I decided to buy this novel since I love Harvest and Bloodstream so much. I do NOT regret it in any way, shape or form. The characters are ALIVE in this book, you really feel for them. The channel Gerritsen was able to write with the reader and the situations is unbelievable.Also, this book is not as predictable as Harvest, yet it's ending is not as absurd and unlikely as Bloodstream. Although, beware, there are numerous disturbing scenes (trust me on this one). Blood runs free in this novel, but never gratuitously. Do I reccomend this book? YES! Is it worth both your time and your money? YES! Should you be adding this book to your shopping cart instead of reading the rest of my needlessly-long review? YES!

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as Harvest, but I did like the book and found it suspenseful. It's pretty easy to read, has good likeable characters, and I would recommend it to any medical thriller fans.

Summary: Harvest Revisted ... but a good read none-the-less
Review: I enjoyed this story of Dr. Toby Harper ... even if it did remind me a bit too much of Harvest, one of Gerritsen's first books. Highly successful women doctors. Everyone turns against them. Their medical careers are going to be ruined. Yadda Yadda.
But, it's still a good story. Toby sees a series of weird elderly patients with unusual symptoms ... and in trying to get to the bottom of it, annoys some pretty powerful people - both at her hospital and at an elitist retirement community. We watch Toby investigating what's going on around her - see friends and family turn against her as she is falsely accused of abusing her alzheimers-suffering mother. What exactly is going on with this retirement community? Why have so many of their members met with death recently?
Only Dr. Toby Harper can find the truth ... but will it be in time?

Summary: Not as good as I thought it would be.
Review: I first read Tess Gerritsen's book 'The Surgeon' and loved it, in fact I read it 3 times. But when I decided to check out some of her earlier work I was dissapointed. 'Life Support' is a pretty good story but who hasn't done the evil nursing bit? I think just about everyone has. Toby (the main character) was pretty cardboard. She was an ER doctor yet when it came to danger she was a wuss. What the? She ended the story very abruptly. I want to know what happened with Dr. Dvorak and I want to know what happened to Wallenberg and everyone.
I do not recommend this book at all. I'll admit it's okay but come on! Why did certain people have to die? I just did not like what she did to some of the characters.

Summary: Good Book- Medical Thriller
Review: I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. Toby was a good main character to the problems that were faced in the ER. It was interesting how dr. carl wallenberg was opposing her so much of the time! To find out more, read the book!

Summary: good medical thriller
Review: If you enjoy medical thrillers, then you should like this book. Dr. Toby Harper works the ER night shift and admits a patient who is delirious and has tremors that are uncontrollable. She is interrupted by another emergency and when she returns to her patient he is gone. Then other patients turn up with similar symptoms and deaths and Toby is worried there is an epidemic starting, but when she tries to investigate, she is blocked, and then problems at home arise with the health of her mother who has alzheimers disease. It looks like her mother was being poisened. She is put on the police's suspect list. Keeps you interested till the end.

Summary: just o.k
Review: Just not one of her best books. I read some of her other books. I would tell anyone thinking about reading her to read either The Surgeon or Gravity both are better. After that, read this if you all would like. Only for true for fans of the author.
Rating:
Summary: Gripping read
Review: Life Support is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won't be the last! The story is well paced and gripping with good characterization. The plot revolves around an upscale retirement community whose doctors have discovered a way to prolong an individual's natural lifespan; unfortunately, the procedure can also create horrific consequences. Dr. Toby Harper, a doctor working in a local ER, admits two of these retirees and is baffled by their symptoms. Her determination to get to the bottom of the case ultimately threatens her very life. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys medical thrillers.
