Summary: Uncanny
Review: Another great read by Jack Polidoro. Unbelievably uncanny that not too long after reading Project Samuel there is all the bruhaha over what to do with Ted Williams' body after his death. A riveting novel! It is scary to see what could and does happen because of human greed. Jack does a remarkable job of allowing the reader to get to intimately know the characters. Once again I anxiously await Jack's next novel.

Summary: Fascinating chronicle of events to come
Review: Dr. Polidoro's book will be of interest to all who are interested in the medical technology for correcting fertility disorders and in the possibility of human cloning. In an optimistic treatment, Polidoro has produced a fictional chronicle of the cloning of a sports legend from hair collected from a barbershop floor. The relationships between idol, fan, businessman-scientist and wealthy donor are very plausible, and are, most likely, predictive of the type of group that will eventually achieve the first human cloning, although I doubt that the Nobel Committee will pronounce a favorable judgement of it -- and the millionare would most probably want to clone himself.

Summary: New Englander's Delight
Review: Jack Polidoro has a writing style that will keep you turning the pages. Jack's love of New England is evident in this tale of politics and history of a small town in New Hampshire. As usual, Jack finds room for romance and juicy sex in this one.

Summary: Project Samuel
Review: My God! What do you know... a book (finally) with an originaly diffirent and exciting plot!Sports Fans and students of the current trend in technology will be delighted in this emerging novel! J.P. Polidoro skillfully mixes state of the art scientific developments and "what if" fiction to present this wonderful story! I couldn't stop reading it. The books main caracters Jack Danton and E. Royston MacDonald along with the others were developed by the author and will soon be as farmiliar to readers as Clancy's Jack Ryan! Hey Hollywood... WAKE UP and make this book a movie ASAP!

Summary: The Kid's kid
Review: Seeing all the baseball superstars who are second generation,i.e. Barrry Bonds, Ken Griffey,Jr. makes one wonder what role genetics must play in the development of an athlete.Genetic research and human cloning which have been so much in the news make the subject of this book inevitable.What if a major athlete, perhaps the best baseball hitter of all time, can be cloned?
J.P. Polidoro takes on this scenario and weaves an interesting and seemingly plausible story, albeit with some required suspension of belief.
The action takes place in and around Fenway Park in Boston and in San Diego, Ted Williams birthplace (literally and figuratively)where the bio-lab happens to be located.
Whether you are a baseball fan or not, you will enjoy this piece of fiction (or is it?)

Summary: Very Interesting!
Review: This book by Jack Polidoro is an uncanny premonition of the fate of Ted Williams. Polidoro may be a modern day Nostradamus without knowing it. Seriously, the book is a riviting page turner and, based on recent events in the news concerning Ted Williams and his deranged son, it will make you look at "fiction" in a new light. This story is movie material!

Summary: Ironic... isn't it
Review: This book was one of the better books i have sat down and read in a while but with recent events happening, you wonder, is this book ALL fiction. Theodore Samuel Williams recently passed away and wanted to be cremated according to sources but was cryogenically frozen by orders of his son ironic isn't it. The book also takes place in San Diego and in boston near Fenway Park where Williams spent most of his life with the exception of the war. A Great book none the less but it makes u wonder, Ironic isn't it.

Summary: Nobel prize for pure genius writing/story
Review: This is the first book I've read by "Dr. Jack" and it won't be my last! This novel is pure genius ... the plot, the writing, the location (San Diego is my favorite city in the world), the biotechnology, and the characters. The biotechnology alone was fascinating, written in layman's terms as to not overwhelm the reader with the real heart of the story. The plot was a refreshing change for this medical thriller junkie who has grown tired of the "uncontrollable virus in the hospital" or "corrupt mega pharmaceutical company" stories that tend to be the norm for today's medical thriller authors. The only thing I found a little annoying is the inconsistency with the characters' names. For example, within the same paragraph or page, Mr. Polidoro would refer to Mr. E. Royston MacDonald as "Roy", "MacDonald" and "Royston". Not a biggie, but for me, it flows better if the names were written consistently.
My New Year's resolution for 2005 is to read the rest of Dr. Jack's literary works. This one is a true Nobel winner for fiction -- if there was one!

Summary: Timely SciFi
Review: With all the news of cloning humans lately, this book is timely, if not prescient. Jack Polidoro's scientific background and his expertise in reproductive biology show in this novel. His love of baseball is also evident. Jack has a writing style that keeps you turning the pages and will make the plot come alive.
