Summary: THE ULTIMATE DEADLY VIRUS IN THE U.S.
Review: Robin Cook's thrilling novel about a killer virus in the U.S. is one of his best books! When the african disease, the Ebola Virus, one of the most deadly sicknesses known to man, breaks out in a hospital in L.A., CDC officer Marissa Blumenthal is sent to investigate. Soon after the incident is closed, more Ebola outbreaks occur in major cities around the country, such as St. Louis, Missouri, andPhoenix, Arizona. Marissa finds out the virus only affects physicans, and their patients, but how, and why? She soon finds out she is caught in a conspiracy that could very well cost her her life. This is a good book. Cook fans won't be dissappointed.

Summary: makes the movie better
Review: The beginning of it was good. They were trying to find the origin of a mysterious disease. Then the storyline took effect. The doctors were the bad guys. WHO REALLY CARES! I saw the movie. SO MUCH BETTER. This book can not compare to all of Crichton's books combined.

Summary: At least the medical details seemed to be consistent...
Review: The book itself was a pretty standard thriller - and predictable.I guess people who enjoy this genre usually like reading it for the "process of discovery" rather than for an unexpected ending.

But the "process" wasn't that satisfying. Even though the Medical details were consistent and thorogh, the plot wasn't. I ekpt losing track of which city Marissa was in and why she was there (and later - what happened in it) because the changes (and number) of cities just happenedso fast... Also, quite a lot of loose story threads were left - suchaswhat happens to Tad, or how the 'mass infection' in Pheonixoccured, since the cafeteria theory was explainedto beavery weak one...

Summary: One of Robin Cook's greatest hospital horror stories.
Review: This book contains so much suspense, you can never put it down. The realism of having the dreaded Ebola virus run rampant in the United States can strike terror in anyone's mind. It is amazing how Cook uses his own hospital expertise to create a gripping epic such as "Outbreak"

Rating:
Summary: An excellent and suspenseful book
Review: This book is exciting and suspenseful. It keeps you reading for the entire book and it never gets boring. I really enjoyed Outbreak and could not put it down. This is Robin Cook's best book in my opinion, and I feel that Robin Cook is one of the best authors I've ever read.

Summary: A great read
Review: This is another one of Robin Cook's great thrillers. This was the first book I read by him (like so many others) and found I could not put it down. Things just kept on moving and kept getting deeper and deeper into the heart of the issue. If you don't read any of his other books at least make time to read this one.
