Isolation Ward (Abridged) Audiobook

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

" You know, I really liked this writer's style. And it's a shame, because I truly hated the main character. He's a selfish, childish jackass that grates on my nerves. "Nathanial" is the central character in the book series, and as much as I'd like to continue with the other books, I just don't think I can. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" This is a bizarre tale of infectious disease and what happens when it hits a group home for the mentally handicapped. It chronicles the doings of CDC Dr. McCormick during his investigation into the unrecognizable outbreak. It's a little over the top since I really didn't expect a CDC officer to be breaking and entering, carrying a gun or evading the police. I did enjoy the encounters with both of his ex-girlfriends and if you discount the outlandish heroics, the story itself was a good one. "

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

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

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

" 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. "

" I'll give it extra points for being written while the author was in medical school. Aside from that, extremely unlikeable character. I just hope the main character doesn't reflect the writer's personality, otherwise, he must have terrible bed manners "

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

" 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. "

" In the mood for a fast-paced medical suspense/thriller then Isolation Ward would be a good one! "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

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

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

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

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

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

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

" Ran across this book while shelving and realized I had already read it. I'm giving it 3 stars for being non memorable. I don't remember hating it, so it must not have been too terrible. But on the other hand it wasn't so good that I remembered it at all. I wish we could do half stars. "

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