 The opposite of boot1947 August 14, 2008
I disagree with boot1947. Robin Cook's latest paperback Critical adds to his entertaining series of novels about New York pathologists Jack and Laurie. Robin Cook has written about these characters from their days in medical school, and this latest book is a welcome addition, further developing character whilst incorporating some of the latest medical techniques and opinions. It sounds like boot1947 has not read any of these previous novels as I think they would come to a different conclusion if they had.
 Why do I do it? November 13, 2007

I should know better. Same plot, same less than two-dimensional characters, same stilted dialogue. I suppose Mr Cook has written too many 'successful' books now for his editors to dare to ask him whether he's ever heard people speak the way his characters do. Try reading some of the conversations out loud and, if you can get your head round the way he constructs a sentence, try not to fall on the floor laughing. I'm constitutionally incapable of not finishing a book (apart from one by Robert Ludlum), but I wish I'd hurled this one some distance after the first chapter. I'm a slow learner, but I won't be buying another.
