I loved this book. The second I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The characters lock you in from the beginning and twists are crazy.

Great Read!

I may be a little partial because I myself feel I'll to an Ecoli infection at age 8, and thanks to a wonderful doctor survived with only slight lifelong side effects, but this novel is an excellent adventure into a family struck own by an invisible deadly disease and their path through diagnosis, investigation, and getting to the other side. I read the book approximately 10 years ago so I have forgotten some of the details,but I know I will be reading the rest of his novels as I continue through my To Read list.

Fantastic

I just finished reading this book in Med-Tech English. A little on the descriptive side but highly addicting with great characters. I don't think I'll be having a burger any time soon.

Great page-turner

I really enjoyed Toxin by Robin Cook. The book vividly describes the effects and dangers of e-coli. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed Cook's characters and the way he applies his medical knowledge in his story. Great Read!

Toxin- A Great Suspenseful Read!

Cook delivers a very true and shocking story that has taught me a lesson about the meat packing industry and also all these burger chains. He brings to the point that mishaps like the one discussed in this book are kept a secret. He brings to life what ever American needs to realize not all meat is safe. A Great Read.. Couldn't put the book down. Would recommend to anyone!

One of the best books that I read in a long time

I read TOXIN in a matter of four hours because I couldn't put the book down once I started it. After reading it, I immediately got on the internet and started searching for information that the book speaks about and I was very suprised to see the amount of information there was on it. Although the book is fiction, it is based on actual documentation. Robin Cook's storytelling is superb. I recommend everyone to read this book and research the information for yourselves. You will be surprised by what you see.

OUTSTANDING!

In this novel, Cook has proven once again that the medical field and suspense are totally compatible with each other. I loved this book for a couple different reasons: One, I am fascinated with the battles that are constantly waged underneath our skin between our immune systems and intruders from the outer world. And second, Cook has taken everyday things we don't think about much to levels above and beyond our grasp. Cook's thorough medical expertise makes an excellent combination when implemented into a modern-day thriller, as all his novels do. 'Toxin' will make you think twice about what you eat and where it comes from.

Not Good

Please don't waste your time with this book. It is overly descriptive with too many medical terms. I also found many parts of it to be highly unrealistic. It does however make you think twice before eating a hamburger though.

AWFUL!!!!!

UNREALISTIC and just completely awful. The only reason I finished it was because I wanted to know what happened, but it was truly dreadful.

Good book

I recommend this book to all those who can really get into a book. This one will catch your attention quickly and keep you reading. Dr. Regis is the determined and worried father who is after the truth of what caused his daughter to become infected with E.Coli.

Poor Ending

As always an excellent book, but unlike his other books he leaves you hanging. What happened to Kim & Tracy Reggis, Caroline Anderson ???

great book

overall a great book. although a little hard to read in places it took me no time to finish it! also, 'reviewer' a little harsh dont you think? you seem strangely outnumbered... but thats my opinion. this is a must read book for any long time cook fan!!!

Toxic: This Novel

While the story had potential and the information presented was interesting, the novel itself was predictable and unrealistic. The characters were wooden and not believable and the dialogue was bland and unfeeling. I never had the sense that I could actually relate to Dr. Kim, Tracy, or any of the other troops that paraded throughout this novel. I don't know if I'll read any more of Dr. Cook's 'thriller suspense novels,' but if they're anything like THIS one, I'd suggest that the author stick to writing prescriptions...

Highschool female in suprisingly impressed.

I thought Toxin was a really neat book. It had great twists and truns that kept me, a sophomore cheerleader, interested. I would find myself staying up late to try to finish the chapter. I thought it was mostly easy reading and an enjoyable book. I did think the ending was week thought. I would have like there to be more closure with what happens to Kim and Tracy, also I would have like to know what goes on with the investigation. You never know, maybe there is room for a sequal.

EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!

As a student of Microbiology, especially the field of infectious pathogens, I truely loved this book. This book brought the field to life, and made everyone aware of the dangers that are out there in our food supply if we don't take action.
