⭐ Way too long, and needs a strong editor to condense some of this. Some Amazon reviews of Brain use words like “stomach-churning”…Indeed it is, and seamy also.The plot concerns giant tech companies financing secret research to improve “thinking” computer systems.To advance their projects, the companies pay secret researchers to kidnap young women patients and subject them to horrible vivisection. (We readers are spared nothing in descriptions of these surgeries or the results produced.)The book has an underlying idea, buried way down there, which would seem to be that we may all lose our freedom and dignity just like the young female patients who were kidnapped and surgically altered. Thus we are all in danger from a few who wish to use and control in this way. However, Dr. Cook buries any warning of our fate under his extensive descriptions of ponderous filth. Dr.Cook offers no cures for the danger, no “to do” list for avoiding this fate.Except in the Epilogue and author’s notes…perhaps.I like Robin Cook’s books, generally.Robin Cook has written other books notable for taking some aspects of medicine off the pedestal. The near-infantile tantrum in medicine is sometimes called what it is. But with Brain, he means well but buries his warning about dangers lurking.So, please save time, and just look at the epilogue and author’s notes in last few pages. And Good Luck to you

⭐ When I downloaded this book to my Kindle, I had not realized that it was written in 1979. I am a great Robin Cook fan and thought I had read all his books. This is one I had missed, so was glad to get a chance to read it because, to me, it was one of his best. The twist in the last 10 percent of the book caught me completely by surprise, and reminded me that at that time in Cook’s life he used that technique more than he does now. As a retired computer-using chemical engineer, it was very interesting to have the state of computer technology in 1979 accurately described, and to be reminded of the astounding progress we have made since then – except in the field of artificial intelligence, in which they were ahead, due to some illegal and stomach-turning research that comes to light near the end of the book – involving four young women with strange symptoms being analysed by the central character, a noted young radiologist. If you too missed reading this one, I am pretty sure you will like it. By the way, as typical with Cook, the book is filled with medical terms, and made me glad for my Kindle with built-in dictionary.

⭐ Robin Cook always delivers. My favorite author for medical suspence and diabolical plots. Thing is, could these unethical medical practices come true in the wrong place and wrong time? Use your imagination, I do.Having been in the medical field every scenario is spot on and interestedely dripping with true fact and scenarios.

⭐ How to fit the puzzle pieces together? Another of Robin’s excellent “medical thrillers” … until close to the end . Then it got scary. And scarier.Don’t stop reading at the end. The epilogue will ruin your night’s sleep.I’m off to start a bit of “horse fluff” so I can sleep in a little while.Thanks, Robin, for giving me the willies.

⭐ Pretty far fetched story, especially for a reader in the medical field (like me). If the intent of the author was to make folks more apprehensive of going to the hospital, he succeeded !

⭐ In the early portion of this story I felt it was slow and I didn’t think I would finish it. Don’t make that mistake. It turned out that I found it difficult to put it down. There was a time that I would not have believed the events in this book could ever happen but with the advances in medical science I now feel anything is in the realm of possibilities.

⭐ Great read so far! I’m only on chapter 7,,but it is very hard to put the book down and only read one chapter at a time. I recommend this to anyone who is in the medical profession. Robin Cook has written yet another great novel.

⭐ While waiting for a new book from Robin Cook I went back to the earliest ones. I liked it as much as the newer ones. It seemed more up to date than the release date indicated. A good read.

⭐ Much too wordy but I’ve always loved Robin Cooks writing until now. I plodded through it but the ending was very disappointing.

⭐ His books are always a thrill. I love the way he describes the hospitals and the doctors. Ready for the next book.
