Contagion by Robin Cook


TITLE:  Contagion
AUTHOR:  Cook, Robin
GENRE: Fiction/Medical Thriller
MY RATING:  3/5
DATE FINISHED: 10/2/2011

I'm happy to say that I've finally finished this book.  I'll admit that the ending twist was fantastic in this medical whodunnit.  But overall, the book just seemed way too drawn out to be entertaining.

The characters were well developed and complex.  I was extremely frustrated with the main character in particular.  There were few intelligent decisions made.  I understand what draws people to read these stories, but perhaps they are better suited for a day at the beach.

Feel free to pick this one up.  It was a satisfactory medical thriller.  I guess medical thrillers just aren't my genre.  But remember... this Contagion is set in 1996, and is not the same as the Contagion film released in 2011.
