Isolation Ward Audiobook

" Overall the book was OK. one of the downfalls. This book is all about the guy talking to himself very cynically with humor or to others the same way. fact is he's not only burning bridges, he burns the ones in currently using. I don't really like the way its written, but the story is OK if you can stand the the wording "

" A decent thriller, but I'm a bit surprised that it got such good reviews. Good for an airplane, but nothing more. "

" Got about half way through the book, and exasperated, just had to quit. The plot potential was huge, and i really liked the premise and was excited initially, but it just took SO LONG for anything to develop. It's like it was always on the verge of "something is about to happen!" then it didn't. Taking forever to describe things that didn't really contribute to the situation, and lacking in what you actually do want to know about. Maybe it picks up later, but I felt like I couldn't waste anymore time trying(hoping) it would get there. And I RARELY quit a book. This is just one of those times. Sorry Spanogle. "

" This was a good medical mystery-thriller. Spanogle did a fairly good job with a first-person narrative, but it was cumbersome at times. It made a pretty good audio book for the commute. "

" I believe this was Joshua's break out novel. REALLY GOOD. I love medical thrillers and this one does not disappoint, I was thoroughly entertained. Joshua wrote this novel while in medical shoo!, which makes the book more amazing! You get a great mixture of a difficult physician who has excellent clinical skills (Sherlock Holmesesgue), throw in the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and Medical/Ethical issues and voila! You get ISOLATION WARD. I didn't figure out the ending, I expected something different, so I did kind of have a minor 'waaa' moment, but only because I would have ended it another way. Oh well, that's creative license for you. Would read again! Recommend to anyone who likes medical thrillers! "

" Just didn't grab me. I never finished it. "

" Just OK - a little hard to follow the storyline at times; seemed disjointed. I like medical thrillers - this just not the best example. "

" First rate medical thriller tracking the source of a new deadly virus. "

" This book started out great, good pace. Towards the middle of the book, it started getting slow. The author really could've cut out about 75 pages. I just finished the book so I could see what the source of the outbreak was. The ending was so lame. "

" I have never read this author's books before. This is definitely one of those books that you cannot put down. I will definitely be reading more this authors books! "

" I enjoyed most of Isolation Ward, however, I have read his other book, Flawless,and thought it to be more interesting. It was a little too technical for my liking. "

" This was a very good medical mystery. A very intersting whodoneit. Kept you guessing till the end. Very gory! Better than Robin Cook's I think. "

" Very suspenseful medical thriller with strong young doctor investigating supervirus. "

" Interesting story, but I didn't necessarily like the protagonist. He grated on me, which interfered with my enjoyment of the book. "

" The book started out with potential and suspense but the plot ended up not being that great. I may try this writer again though it is... sweary (has lots of swearing in it). I really did like the main charachter. "

" For storyline I would have given this four stars, but the hero was such an irredeemable jerk, I had to knock it down a star. Great story, lousy protagonist. "

" Pretty good medical suspense thriller. Much too much swearing. "

" I liked this (not amazing but good) and being based in the Bay Area and about Biotech - made it even more interesting. "

" Great medical thriller! Hard to put down. The main character, a doctor uses delightfully funny language in describing his perception of the ongoing events - a real change from other medical thrillers. "

" Surprised to find out that this book was written by a medical student. Good brain candy while in bed with my strained back... "

" Dr Nathaniel MacCormick -- CDC -- Dr Brooke Michaels #1? "

" Exciting, well-written and fun to read for a former Infection Control RN. "

" started out good but then dragged on too long - in the end I didn't care what the solution to the mystery was "

" This is in the same vein as Robin Cook's medical thriller's. This won't win a literary prize, but it's exciting and entertaining. "

" 4 star science/medical thriller (top 25% of the genre). For my full review, see ScienceThrillers.com "

" This was a pretty entertaining book but they could have done with a few less F-bombs. "
