"Host"

I happily pre-ordered "Host" as soon at it became available and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Robin Cook is my favorite author. I've read almost all of his books and this is going to be one of my favorites. Relax with a Kindle and read "Host"!

I usually watch scary movies during Halloween weekend, but there was no need after reading this book. "Host" is a terrifying look into what could happen if unethical pharmaceutical companies are allowed to run amok. I won't spoil the ending, but everyone should know greed and corruption can have devastating consequences to quality healthcare.

Lynn and Michael are intriguing new characters. I can't wait to see what happens during their next adventure. I hope we see them again soon. Dr. Cook is fantastic at presenting diverse characters in a respectful way. It's obvious that he takes the time to research different ethnic groups to add a layer of realism to his fictional stories. I appreciate this.

I'm having surgery next week. I probably should have waited until after the procedure to read this book due to the subject matter, but it was just too good to put down. I highly recommend "Host" and I look forward to meeting these characters again.

*Dr. Cook responded to a post I wrote on his Facebook page. I am beyond happy!!
