    <body><![CDATA[Spoilers here, but only if you haven't read the dustjacket. Robin Cook wrote Coma, which was made into a great movie. I've liked his other books too. They're a bit silly - the romance always feels a little forced, and the way he describes the food and the settings and even the people is always a little too detailed, like his characters shouldn't be quite so observant. But they're a little adorable too - medical sci fi thrillers with main characters who are geeky scientists and lanky doctors, afraid of guns and bad at fighting, becoming overwhelmed by the intrigues that entangle them. His books often have a feminist bent and the antagonists are generally corporate or political in nature. This book was no different; it stars an affable anesthesiologist driven to depression by a malpractice lawsuit - which is of course not his fault but part of an elaborate plot. It also features an object lesson in how homophobia can be a true danger to society, which I didn't expect. The medical scenes are extremely detailed and I learned a lot about anesthesia. And I got grossed out. But overall, a very entertaining read.]]></body>
