Summary: Love Robin Cook
Comment: If you love medical mysteries, Robin Cook is always a good choice. The only drawback at this point is that it was written in the 80's

Summary: The beginning and the middle better than the end
Comment: The often read Robin Cook's books but find myself continually disappointed with the endings. Stories open full of opportunity, compelling medical details and controversy, yet close with limited or simplistic resolution. Eight books on and I am still awaiting an ending which is as compelling as the beginning. Harmful Intent was no different, the anaesthesia logs, the bounty hunters and the hiding. But then, almost as if the ideas ran out, the book was over with the doctors playing happy families in a resolution which is not worthy of the thought and development impeded in the beginning. The will continue to read Robin Cook's books as I find them full of a community of protagonists I can identify with, however, I will continue to await an ending which equals the creativity of the concept on which the book is based.

Summary: Quick paced
Comment: I find it hard to put the book down. Robin Cook again used his great skill of mixing humor with suspense.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wow, what a great story!
Comment: There's crooks and then there's real deviousness in white collar crime. This is one ride you won't forget. Think about what Shakespeare said about lawyers, not to mention the Bible. Scary story, but as always, Cook takes you for a great ride.

Summary: why you should read this
Comment: I've read a few RC's now, and while so far they've all been pretty good reads, I want mention that this one is outstanding. His stories are about normal, intelligent (is intelligence that normal these days?) people who are thrown into a web of intrigue and danger. This one stands out because of the suspenseful climax of the novel that is extended over the last 80 or so pages. Really well done.
