The First Patient: A Novel Audiobook

" Interesting book especially the nano tech and the 25 Amendment. "

" predictable but still a good read. "

" tiny robots in your brain? ooooook. but totally worth the 10 cents i paid for it. "

" Meh. I thought I had read some Palmer before, but if I had I probably wouldn't have picked this up. A little TOO soap opera-y for me. Not enough political thriller. "

" A disappointment. I had only read one other book by this author, The Fifth Vial, and it was pretty good, but this one, not so much. "

" Mainstream novel (i.e. not a romance!!) I like medical thrillers once in a while. Interesting view of the president & his staff & advisors, etc. Has some nano-technology in it. "

" Great book....I was pleasantly surprised. "

" good read in the genre of medical thrillers!! "

" Read and you will never want to put down the book. "

" Not too bad, although there were a couple a of parts that made me wish I had paid attention in chemistry class. Probably not a book I would seek out if I hadn't seen it on the bargain table at Borders, but I will definitely try another book by this author. "

" After reading two chapters I realized I had already read this book. My opinion may be tainted because the read was on its second trip. The story was easy to follow, and the book was well written. "

" It was pretty good. I listened to it, and I probably would have liked it more if I had like the reader more. He tried to sound presidential times 10. Good story, kept wondering who dun it! "

" I enjoyed this book. It kept my attention and I loved the ending. This is a good choice when you want something easy to "read" and a mystery. "

" A tight presidential thriller with a lot of great twists and turns. "

" Stretches credulity quite a bit. Good concept, not well executed. Dialog is not very realistic. "

" A serious page turner. A fun, fast read. "

" A real page turner! Full of suspense, twists and turns! I could not put it down. Politics, the White House, etc., a very good read. This is my first book by this author, I will look for more now. "

" This was a really good book. It took several turns that I never saw coming. I will definitely read some of his other books. "

" I really liked this book. The plot was interesting and keep you turning pages! "

" This suspense thriller was my first for this author. I loved the storyline - The First Patient is actually the President. Very cool plot that keeps you engaged - until toward the end when it all just seemed to die and become very predictable and a little trite. "

" The plot is totally bind blowing. To think that our president could be so easily manipulated is very scary. But then who is to say if some form of this is not already happening. I liked it though the "love story" was not totally believable. "

" Intelligence, action and suspense...and not too much swearing. "

" pretty cool medical thriller. who would have guessed all of the details surrounding keeping the president healthy? seems like the most powerful person in the world isn't the president of the united states but the president's doctor. my only complaint was that the store moved slowly in the beginning. "

" Good twists in this thriller. "

" Nice thriller set in the White House - nanotechnology, conspiracy, plot twists, romance. Interesting characters - good read-alike for Baldacci fans. "

" A good summer reading type of book. It hooked me, even if the plot was unbelievable. "

" So far it is great!!! "

" Fast reading, entertaining, somewhat predictable plot. I DID figure out who did it, but it was interesting to find out the "whys"....of course, also knew the romance would occur too..... "

" I really liked this book. The plot was interesting and keep you turning pages! "

" Select Editions Vol. 4, 2008 Another good story about transferring power of the President but it got a little rushed at the end, plus how people got to the final showdown was confusing. "

" Not exactly the best thing I've ever read. It was a bit disjointed and loosely put together. "

" A real page turner! Full of suspense, twists and turns! I could not put it down. Politics, the White House, etc., a very good read. This is my first book by this author, I will look for more now. "

" An interesting read. Michael Palmer grasps the reader's attention with unlikely combinations of friends and holds the attention with a "who-done-it" motiff - Who is druging the President and how are they getting the drugs in him? This is not his best novel, but it's worth the read. "

" Not too bad, although there were a couple a of parts that made me wish I had paid attention in chemistry class. Probably not a book I would seek out if I hadn't seen it on the bargain table at Borders, but I will definitely try another book by this author. "

" it was a good book.i was involved from the miute i picked it up "

" Well, I wasn't surprised by the ending, but the story was compelling. A little different plot from Michael Palmer, which I enjoyed. "

" Loved this one!!!! Loved the writing style, self-effacing, but light and serious at times. makes you really think about possibilities.... "

" I little too much science fiction for me but it was entertaining. "

" I read this book a couple years ago. I remember really liking it and will be reading more by this author. "

" Hard book to put down, since I really wanted to figure out the mystery. Also, you are constantly rooting for the main guy in this book. "

" Excellent medical thriller. Kind of funny that the last couple books I've read involved nano- technology, but this one is definitely best. Michael Palmer is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine. "

" 484 pages! Phew! What a crazy, winding, intriquate story. The ending was well worth the long journey, though. "
