Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Outbreak (Dr. Marissa Blumenthal #1)
2.5 - I'm feeling generous with the round up to three.First - if you are looking for an outbreak book involving the risk of an end of humanity while a group of intrepid heroes fight for survival - this is not that book! There is very little actual outbreak, it is only a side plot to the main story.
I do enjoy the stories Cook is trying to tell, but sometimes it is a struggle to get through them. I feel like he really has a cool story and fascinating ideas, but that he is not a very good writer. There is a fine line between an enjoyable book without a lot of depth and a cringe worthy jumble of coincidences and forced plot points.
Also - his formula seems to be the following: a bumbling but attractive female lead who lacks good common sense, makes poor decisions, and receives chauvinistic treatment from a slew of arrogant male leads (two or three of which she is considering sleeping with). Just switch the plot around and you have 3 out of every 4 Cook novels.
I will keep reading Cook because I want to see if it gets better (and I am running out of Crichton novels).

I read this in order to escape the panic and worry of the Corona virus outbreak.This is an exciting read from an author I've not read before. I like conspiracy stories and this didn't disappoint. Like other reviewers, I was a little tired of the repeated references to her looks and everyone seems to fancy her. I think this is to explain the great lengths people go to accommodate her constant requests to break some rule or other. She also seems to enjoy more good luck than seems fair. But thatRobin Cook writes great medical thrillers. He's one of the best. I go to Grisham for legal thrillers sometimes. I'm looking for better writers who do as well or better than these two.
Amazing story, once again Robin Cook is taking readers on a thrill ride and one that is very close to non-fiction, With the way the government plays with germs who knows when the next outbreak may occur. Thanks to the author for always blending fact and fiction in a thoroughly fascinating way.
This was a disappointing book. To its credit, the novel lives up to its reputation as a fast-paced medical thriller. The story begins with mysterious outbreaks of Ebola appearing in different hospitals of the country, with no initially obvious connection between them. A new doctor from the CDC is assigned to find out why the early outbreaks are occurring and help contain them, and she gets drawn into a political (mystery/thriller) plot. Why the mediocre review? I was turned off by the romantic
I love Robin Cook's books. He is credited with being the creator of the modern "medical horror." I love all his books and I very much enjoyed reading OUTBREAK. This book is not suitable to readers under the age of eighteen as the situations are adult in nature and eerily plausible. After reading RobinCook you will not want to ever have to visit any medical center anytime soon. I highly recageommend this book to readers
Have you seen the movie "Outbreak"? Well this book... is NOTHING... like it. Yes, the Ebola virus is used as a weapon. Yes, someone from the CDC is investigating. The similarity ends there.A young CDC doctor is sent to an outbreak of what turns out to be Ebola virus in L.A. Then similar outbreaks occur in St. Louis, Phoenix, Philadelphia, and New York. She becomes convinced that someone is using the virus as a weapon. To find out who, she must deal with bureaucracy, a sexually harrassing boss,
A great choice if you want to read a really bad book.
