So, in the past two days, I've read two books by Robin Cook (Toxin and Mutation). I felt both were excellent. Coupled with two other Cook books I've read (Shock and Chromosome 6), I've come to realize that Robin Cook may be one of the best medical thriller novelists there is. There is one problem: his endings leave much to be desired. Still, he's a fantastic writer. I've got 4 of his books to read while I'm on vacation next week.

Anyone else read any of his books? If you have, thoughts?

As mush as I dislike this kinda' stuff, I find your shameless appreciation for the unhip so hip and rebellious and ironic that it becomes cool again. And I don't mean this in a patronizing way. I'd recommend you read E UNIBUS PLURAM, but I hate to trap you in "irony's aura." I hope you pen the great American novel.

IN taking the advice of my mother, and my good friend, Ron Mexico, since I can't say anything nice, I won't say anything at all.

I've read all of his books. Most are very good reads....

I do agree with you about his endings.

He wrote Abduction, right? I read the first two sentences of Abduction, then gave up because they were so unbelievably bad. I did this about four times.

True story.
