The Patient Audiobook

" Read as part of a Book Club. "

" Palmer is a good author, but use of so many medical terms so frequently in the book make it a little hard to keep your attention at times. I found myself wandering off when he hits you with a full paragraph or two of nothing but medical terms. Otherwise, not bad. "

" Medical thriller that kept my attention and was a quick, simple read. Main themes include robot driven neurosurgery and top tier physicians hi-jacked by a high profile criminal with an "inoperable" frontal meningioma. Dr. Palmer is my second favorite "MD" author (in the fictional realm) next to, of course, the late Dr. Crichton. "

" This was a free ebook from the library, and a popular author so I wanted to give it a try. A quick read, but often predictable. The main characters, who are selflessly heroic and brilliant against master minded assassins, got to be tedious, and I found myself just wishing for the end of the story. I enjoy the medical aspect Palmer's writing. This story is written around the setting of cutting age technology, rather than making the technology a pivotal part of the thriller. I like Palmer's writing style, and will read more of him. Hopefully his use of medicine within the story will continue to develop. "

" Outstanding book. Read it in one day! "

" This book starts out wildly interesting and then by the end tapers off. "

" Really good read. Easy to pick back up...gotta love storyline twists! "

" This was worlds better than the last Michael Palmer book I read. I actually stayed up half the night trying to finish it - it was pretty exciting and very interesting. "

" A frightening hospital mystery. Fast action. We listened audio and that was good! "

" I found it a bit predictable and slow. "

" A mix of Grey's Anatomy with 24. A really good read. "

" I will finish this book tonight- I can't put it down! I'm loving this author. "

" Better than the average novel "

" This is a grocery store grab that holds your interest. It is about a dedicated neurosurgeon who is forced to remove a tumor from the brain of a killer. Throw in a handsome CIA agent and an ego centric boss. Quick read. "

" I liked this book alot. There was lots of action and suspense. "

" He always has great plots but the endings leave something to be desired. "

" A page turner is an understatement. Michael Palmer certainly knows how to put together a medical thriller. "

" Really liked it. Very fast moving in some places. "

" This was a pretty good book, it held my attention but something was missing for me. Perhaps the main male character Alex, he just did not warm to me at all, he seemed a bit too stiff in character and without personality. I was pleasantly surprised at who the killer turned out to be. "

" I couldn't put it down -- fast-paced, fascinating story, well written -- and I learned a bit about brain surgery for cancer (not enough to do it myself, tho ). If you like murder mysteries, this one will appeal. "

" It's a page-turner that read like a movie. A quick read that got me into the groove of reading again. "

" I enjoyed this book very much. It is a medical suspense/thriller. It grabbed my attention from beginning to end. "
