Shock (Abridged) Audiobook

" I had heard good things by this author, then saw this book was dealing with an infertility clinic which piqued my interest since that is my field, but I wasn't that impressed. The main characters were not extremely likable, and while he did a good job of building the suspense, I felt the ending was a flop (could have used another few pages at least to explain what happened...there were too many loose ends!). "

" The book was okay- started off interesting, but had a weak ending. Not my first choice of recommendation. "

" I found the topic interesting and the tension kept me reading. However, I found a lot of the dialogue, especially between the two central characters, to be inane. The ending was extremely disappointing. It was as though the author's pen suddenly ran out of ink "

" This book really isnt my type of book, its just something i picked up and kept on reading. This book talks about these two friends that find an ad on the newspaper about donating eggs for money(egg bank). They decide to do it but later htye become curious about what they are doing with the eggs and if her egg has been given to anyone. This suspenseful book would leave some off their seat. Hope anyone that reads this would enjoy. "

" Picked this up from a friend back in 2002. I liked it so much I read every Robin Cook book she had! Some I really liked and some I really hated. "

" So many things were wrong with this book, it is hard to know where to start. A snail pace of a plot, uninteresting and underdeveloped characters whose motivations were completely ridiculous, an ending that wasn't really written, just stated, I could keep going but I won't. My biggest question was why I even bothered finishing the book. "

" I can't believe this guy is a bestselling author. "

" This book is an early book that does not yet include Dr. Laurie Montgomery and Dr. Jack Stapleton. It is still a great book! "

" I never read this genre...someone at work lent me this book. "

" 2 grad students donate eggs "

" Though I delight in Cook's thrilling medical mysteries, I found this one to be a bit more disappointing than usual. Anti-climatic, if you will. However, it was still fun and easy to read. "

" Entertaining, cliff-ish ending "

" excellent book, I think this quote from the book sums it up perfectly "operting a quantum leap beyond the realm of reasonable or even anticapted ethics". "

" Intrigueing how people can be drawn into a situation without really knowing it. Cook really goes into a feild that is not relly known but makes it seem as if you deal with it everyday. "

" enjoyed the book but not the ending..... "

" Good story. Kept me interested. I was turned off by the two glaring typo's. "

" The storyline for this book was interesting, but there were a lot of cliche moments. It took me 4 tries to finally get though this book...ugh. "

" A page-turner about a clandestine reproduction operation! I couldn't give it 5 stars, though, because of some of Cook's cheesy dialogue. "

" Every bit a page turner. I didn't want to put this book down. Surprising ending. "

" Suspenseful, fast-paced medical thriller involving two grad students and an egg-donor clinic. Leaves you hanging at the end. "

" I can't say that I am a fan of Robin Cook after reading a second book of his. His stories are so predictable that I don't have the patience to read them through the end. I actually skipped to the end of this book after reading it about half way. "

" a suspense thriller that never ends. "

" This book was entertaining & suspenseful. Really sucks you in. I'm an OB nurse, so I had to "suspend some disbelief". But overall, I liked the characters & the fast pace set by the author. "

" Robin Cook used to be one of my favorite authors yet this book really seemed kind of blah and basic to me. Maybe my tastes have become more sophisticated??! "

" this was the first robin cook book that i read..!! started loving him after that..!! "

" Book was good but I didn't like the ending... wonder if there is a sequel to bring some closure to this book??? "

" I can't say that I am a fan of Robin Cook after reading a second book of his. His stories are so predictable that I don't have the patience to read them through the end. I actually skipped to the end of this book after reading it about half way. "

" Normally Robin Cook would be considered one of my favorite authors; however this book did not live up the norm. Ending was, quoting another reader, "a flop". "

" Very hard to believe premise with ridiculous situations. "
