Fatal Audiobook

" I didn't know what to expect as I'd never read or listened to this author but this book went by quickly and was over before I knew it. "

" Another great old find from Palmer. I wish I'd been reading him longer, but at least I have a lot of older titles to check out if I can't find anything new at the library. A great story! "

" Am loving Michael Palmer's books so much I'm working my way through his arsenal! "

" This was a good story. It caught my interest and held it. "

" It took me quite a while to really get into this novel - probably somewhere around the 100 page mark. There is a possibility that what kind of through me off in the prologue was the bit about "explosive diarrhea"... I had dinner shortly before I began the story. Anyways, of the three lead characters I particularly enjoyed reading Matt and Nikki; I found that I wasn't really all that interested in Ellen; she did grow on me to some extent near the end. However, one thing that irked me about Matt and Nikki was that they had to fall in love. I would have been just as happy if they didn't. I also liked the fact that there was a good deal more to the "mountain folk" than I originally expected since they started off as stereotypes. On a side note, if this would ever go the big screen (or small screen) Chris Bauer should definitely portray Chief Grimes. "

" Take the stuff about vaccines with a grain of salt. It makes for a good plot but the book was written at the height of "vaccine scare" that turned out to be a combination of junk science and hoaxes. If you can read through all that without getting too distracted then it's a pretty good adventure. "

" I have read Michael Palmer before and was not disappointed with this one. It was a medical thriller. Some of the plot was very predictable; others not so much. It was a very easy read; good for sitting on the deck in the summer. Now I am off to The Postmistress for book club! "

" I liked this book very much. It was enthralling and I liked the characters and the medical twists and turns. "

" As always Michael Palmer does not dissappoint. "

" I always like a medical thriller and this was based in an unusual locale...West Virginia. Matt Rutledge is a physician with an axe to grind with the local coal mine because he lost his father and wife due to their careless and dangerous ways. Very entertaining. "

" Fatal is not just a thriller. It offers valuable information on the danger of childhood immunizations to harm children. It also explored mining dangers and toxic chemical spills. It all came together well with plenty of action. "

" Read this book in 2009 and that's the last book of his I read but intend to read some more. Interesting books and he is a good writer. "

" This was fun, fast and entertaining - just right for a vacation read. The science seemed very plausible to me. "

" Interesting plot with lots of twist and turns. I read it for the Fall Reading Challenge. "

" one of my favorite medical thriller. i loved how all of the story lines connected and related to one another. it did seem a little far fetched at times, but that didn't take away from the thrilling and suspenseful novel. "

" Three different story lines are adroitly brought together and the mystery behind a disfiguring, complex illness is finally revealed. A good medical thriller involving greed and the supposed dangers of immunization keep the pages turning. "

" A good story, medical in nature of course, as Palmer is a physician. Each of our three protagonists holds a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that they must solve quickly. Complex and action packed but dialog is simplistic and occasionally juvenile. "

" The book was good and an eye opener. It was a little confusing at first,there were 3 differnet story lines to follow but in all came together very well. "

" Fatal by Michael Palmer (2003) "

" I don't remember reading any Michael Palmer's ever before. This one was a good story told well. "

" coal mine containation along with vaccinations are somehow causing fatal diseases in this small appalachian town. "

" The cave scenes, rather than invoking fear, made me want to go caving again. Seemed disjointed at first but Palmer tied the medical mysteries together well enough. "

" Very interesting info about how tainted water can cause mystery illnesses and how corporations conspire to cover up their mistakes. The main characters are likable and believable. "

" Good read, enought to keep one turning the pages. Not too many "just taking up space" pages. "

" Read this, loved it! Have to find more of Palmer's books in the future, definitely. "

" Favorite of his yet...pretty fast paced for Palmer! When it started out, I thought he had bitten off more than he could chew. Taking on too many health issues but, he pulled it off! LOVED IT!!! "

" Medical fiction about the effects of vaccines and environmental toxins "

" What a SCARY idea!!!!!!! "

" I really enjoyed this book "

" I liked this book very much. It was enthralling and I liked the characters and the medical twists and turns. "

" Good beach read. Reminds me of Michael Crichton's books. "

" I love all of Michael Palmer books! "

" Excellent; two doctors work to determine what is causing disfigurement and death in people in a small town, and wind up challenging a new vaccine being pushed by the First Lady <br/> "
