They called it “minor surgery,” but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman, and a dozen others—all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for routine procedures were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous tragedy on the operating table. They never woke up. . . .

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of his all time classics
    Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

    This book is one of Robin Cook's all time classic and reading it again was just as good as the first time. They have now made two movies out of this book. One of the movies was from years back and one a little more current. The issues brought up in this book causes one to step back and think as well as realize how much of this is in today's world from the time that he first wrote this book. It is a great book to read.

    Anyone interested in the world of medicine, Medical ethics and the money that drives the machine will love this book. I read it eons ago when it was initially published and recently thought I would return to this most interesting book. The characters are first rate. The twists and turns are such that this is a book not likely left alone for long.

    I thought this book was just fantastic, and could hardly put it down from start to finish. Robin Cook is a very gifted science fiction writer---I wonder if this cold be happening somewhere in the world to someone.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Badly dated, overlong...but great 30 years ago.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    At the time this book was a huge hit, unfortunately because it has been copied and imitated so many times in 30 years, it is now badly dated and overlong:

    1. Too much is made of the woman vs. male profession (laughable now.)
    2. You need a medical degree to follow a lot of the explanations (although you don't really need to.)
    3. The book is now way too long given modern sensibilities, some imagery at the end is stunning, but you will figure it out long before the hero.
    4. Uses and re-uses over worn plot devices: (1) No one believes the hero (2) Good guys are really bad guys (3) Heroine outwits bad guy (4) young doc with great future

    Again, if you look at the old reviews this book was a big hit, but Robin Cook now writes more timely and more economically.
