Intervention Audiobook

" One of Robin Cook's better reads. Held my attention with a somewhat "Da Vinci Code" like plot. I like his ongoing character Dr. Jack Stapleton. It was nice to read about this fictional character again, although I do have to say, he's had more than his share of sadnesses. "

" Good read, but puzzling about the quick wrap up for an ending. "

" Little too heavy on the religious aspect of this. Would have liked to see more on the 'cure' of the little buy. Good read. Saw the end coming from far, far away. "

" Another good Robin Cook Thriller which includes the twist of faith this time. Surprise ending as always. "

" I picked up this Robin cook just before I checked out my other books from the library because it was right there staring at my face from between a hundred other paperbacks. I thought I'd recapture the fun I used to have as a teenager reading older Cook medical thrillers. Biggest mistake over. What the hell is wrong with this guy?! This was the worst bilge i've ever read in my life... I'm almost tempted to reread Coma and Oubreak and all the rest to check if he was always this bad, but another book of this quality would make me want to kill myself, I'm too scared. "

" Good story but too long. Could have been about 33-50% shorter. "

" I really liked the beginning of this book when the main character, Jack, was exploring the world of alternative medicine through his medical examiner eyes. I expected the book to highlight a struggle for Jack over whether to treat his ailing infant with alternative therapies. I was disappointed when the second story line came into focus and the first came to a sudden halt. Although the dig at the Vatican and discovery of Christianity changing artifacts was ok, it felt like Robin Cook was trying to tackle too many topics in one novel. I would have enjoyed the book more if he had stuck with his original storyline. "

" BIG disappointment from Robin Cook. The story went all over the place, and never really tied together. On top of it, the ending was abrupt and made little sense. "

" Way too much religous history exposition. I got crosseyed when there were pages and pages of it disguised as dialogue. "

" Wow, that was a stupid book. "

" I just finished this audible book. This author writes medical thrillers. I enjoyed the book. It was a little different from the rest of his books. "

" pretty predictable story. Characters are a bit off-kilter / quirky situation with spouses and also father of sick child distracting himself by work. "

" A good read that holds your interest from the first page through the last. The book deals with alternative medicine and archeology. "

" Different from Cook's usual medicaly mystery style, but I really enjoyed the plot. "

" This book had several overlapping stories, but I didn't really care about any of the characters. There were some interesting points about alternative medicine and the early Christian church, but I woudn't recommend it. "

" Instead of a medical thriller, this book gets bogged down in Biblical references and the search for an artifact. Not Cook's usual. "

" Robin Cook hasn't had a good book for several years. "

" Way too much medical jargon for me. I've read many of Robin Cook's books, but this one was over the top. Stopped after only 50 pages. "

" Haven't read Robin Cook for awhile. Not nearly as interesting as he used to seem back in the 70's and 80's. Still I finished the book just to see what happened. Not necessarily worth the read, but a I needed the diversion "

" I enjoy the continuity of the characters as they work their way through medical mysteries and intrigue. "

" Another disappointing book..unlike Robin Cook's previous novels it was neither insightful or entertaining. An archaeologist finds bones that could undemine the Catholic Church; sort of a DaVinci Code "wannebe." "

" This book was very good and I suggest that if you like medical mystery, read this book. "

" The plot was proposterous especially in this day and age. The characters were dull and the dialogue mundane. This was my first time reading a book by Robin Cook and it deters me from trying another. "

" I enjoyed this novel until the last 30 pages or so. I won't post any spoilers but the ending was unsatisfying. It's like a Da Vinci Code focusing more on science than cloak & dagger. If you are a person that enjoys the journey more than the destination you may enjoy this. "

" I like all of these Robin Cook books that are about Jack Stapelton and Laurie Montgomery. "

" This book was very good and I suggest that if you like medical mystery, read this book. "

" Christianity/Catholicism, faith-healing, chiropractiv deaths, alternative medicine. A little too much theology for me! However, I always stop and think when I read Robin Cook. It puts a new spin on chiropractic risks! "

" One of my favorite authors! I have read almost every one of his books. "

" My least favorite book by my favorite author. Very interesting learning about the Catholic church history but I enjoy Robin Cook for his medical thrillers. Fascinating DNA twists and turns and good suspense. "

" This book was ok, but definitely not my favorite Robin Cook book. "

" Starts reasonably well and raises interesting questions. Tapers off and finish was both predictable and disappointing. "

" Really, poor literature. Listened to it while driving back to Iowa. Boring, boring, and boring. Some of the historical facts were correct and some of the science was comical. Don't waste your time. "

" We listened to this on the drive from Utah and it was terrible. It was so LONG!!! There was a lot of detail that went nowhere. It ended poorly and didn't tie things off the way it should have. Wouldn't recommend it. Not even to listen to in the car. "
