    <body><![CDATA[7/10<br/><br/>I thought it was a really good novel. Cook's novel are most of the time very interesting.<br/><br/>I thought that VJ's charater was a little far-fetched to my taste. In regards to giving orders out to adults. In real life no one would take that from a 10 yr old.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I believe this was one of the first adult books I read. I read this at about age 11 or so and I remember it gave me nightmares for a long time. The son's eerie deadness and the dad's complete disregard of his son's freakishness troubled me for weeks. I think my parents were so proud of the fact that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3267488">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Good lord!  This was a horrible book.  The plot is unbelievable and predictable, the characters are two-dimensional, and the whole premise does not even make sense (has this man cracked open a science book in the last decade?).  This book is characterized as a &quot;medical thriller,&quot; but it wa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43239757">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I tend to like Robin Cook's medical thrillers, but this one is in French!  My host mom gave it to me when I studied abroad in Pau, France.  It is slow going because I have to look up vocabulary I am not familiar with, but it is a lot of fun, and it keeps the part of my brain that thinks in French is...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5072542">more...</a>]]></body>
