Review by Me : Shock - A Book by Robin Cook

A typical Robin cook book! Keeps your eyes glued to the book and your mind glued to the story line even after you are through reading!!

In this plot-twisting novel the villains, (who are doctors at Winsgate Clinic) with no sense of ethics or social responsibility get their greedy hands on the newest cloning technology. It starts when a couple of Harvard graduate students (Debhora and Joanna) answer the Wingate Clinic's ad for egg donors. The women figure on financing a year in Venice and the down payment on a Boston condo with the extraordinary sum they're promised. But a year later, the heroines feel the emotional need to seek out the children they've made possible for infertile couples. So they disguise themselves and seek jobs at the clinic in order to access the identifying information. The clinic, as it turns out, has plenty of secrets to protect, so it's hard to believe that a pair of computer neophytes could bypass its security and reveal the dirty secrets of cloning and try to escape the grounds of winsgate clinic!!

This one keeps you turning the pages until the final denouement, though the last chapter ends abruptly, leaving the reader to wonder whether he ran out of steam or is just setting up a sequel in which he'll recycle the villains in a new scheme with a new pair of victims

Personally, I dont enjoy open - ends too much! Yet.. the book deserves 3 1/2 stars! ;)

And if you do like this one.. you should definately go for "Chromosome 6" if you have not already read it! :-D
