Summary: Couldn't Put It Down

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS VERY INTERESTING
Review: I ENJOYED THE BOOK I THOUGHT THE BOOK DISCUSSES REAL FEELINGS PEOPLE MAY HAVE IF THEY WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK. OVER ALL THE BOOK WAS WELL ORGANIZED AND HAD GOOD DETAILS.

Summary: Give me a break
Review: I had to read this in my Literary Analysis & Expression class at school, to get a handle on some sort of modern work. I admit it wasn't bad at first. When a friend described the ending as "young kid sells crack to drug-lords while harvesting babies in artficial fetii in his secret lair undergrond, all while artifically inseminating young girls," you laugh and shrug it off as being impossible. NOPE. Not a bit short of the truth. In fact, its not even all of the truth, there's more completely unbelievable things. I only wrote a spoiler because you absolutely cannot buy this book. If you really wanna read it, get it at the library, its horrendous.

Summary: Jesus...
Review: I picked up the book two weeks ago while waiting in my mother's car, bored out of my mind, while she visited with my big brother. It was my mom's book. Out of boredom I picked it up and skimmed a few pages, then I was hooked. I finished the book the next day and was very happy with it. Very suspenseful!

Summary: Very intriguing
Review: I read the book in one night, to find out what happened. It kept you guessing most of the way, but the ending wasn't equal to the rest of the book.

Summary: Another Excellent Novel of Robin Cook's
Review: I really enjoyed this book, and read the whole thing in one day. It's the story of a scientist who genetically engineers his own son to have a far superior intelligence, and the horrific complications that arrive from it. One of the most enjoyable facets of the book are that the characters are all too human, just as people in the ordinary world, and it shows the impact of their human foibles on this story. This is the sixth of his novels that I've read, and he's one of my favorite authors.

Summary: Scary!
Review: I really liked this book by Robin Cook.It kept me awake at night, but at the same time made me think about science and technology of the present. With the coming of the next millenium, and the rapid development in genetic engineering, this book is a must to read. "MUTATION" reminds us not to take science too far, when to go further in studies and experiments...and when to stop

Summary: Reveiw of Muation
Review: I thought that The book Mutation was written well, but there wasn't a very good plot, and it was hard to follow.
It was very well written, using good grammar, nice words, and it definatly had a nice flow to it. But, as I said before, it didn't have a very good plot. The ending really did't fit the story of logical thinking, it was more "I need an ending to the book so lets just kill somebody". Also in the book, it had a very scientific flow, but then near the end they introduced drugs, Columbians, and other illegal acts, which really didn't fit the story.
It was also hard to follow at many parts because it would switch from different points of veiw randomly. The different points of veiw would have been a very good additive to the book if it switched in the transitions of chapters, but it didn't.
Overall this book was well written, but not for those who enjoy an eay to follow book with a plot that makes sence. I give it three out of five.

Summary: On the edge of your seat sci-fi thriller.
Review: I thought that the book was an excellent fictional story of a dna mutation. It was like something that could happen today in present times. It was actually kind of scary to think that something like this could actually happen. Cook is an excelent writer when it comes to descriptions of scenes and places. In MUTATION there are not a lot of characters so the story line is easy to follow. One of the difficulties I had when I was reading the book was all of the medical terms that he used which I didn't know. I am not the type of person who reads just for fun but if I was I would read this book. To anyone who likes sci-fi thrillers especially dealing with DNA experiments this is the book to read.
