They never woke up.. They called it “minor surgery,” but Nancy Greenly, Sean Berman, and a dozen others—all admitted to Boston Memorial Hospital for routine procedures were victims of the same inexplicable, hideous tragedy on the operating table
"Excellent plot; vapid characterizations" according to Erica Starks. There is one thing for sure; Robin Cook is definitely a doctor. Due to the nature of the novel I was more than prepared to have a fair amount of medical terminology and jargon thrown at meat times it was a bit tedious and the explanations quite lengthy, but for the most part the subject matter kept me interested. However, I was surprised at how sterile and predictable the main characters were written. Susan Wheeler is not only brilliant, but so stunningly beautiful that every male character's inner dialogue (and yes, I do pretty much mean every male) must endlessly muse about how "dynamite" her figure must be. A Customer said Start your habit here. Robin Cook is not an author, he is a habit. This book is the first to read to start your habit. He at least knows his limitations and his writing career since has not strayed much out of what he is good at, which is, novels about 'inside the medical world', from a doctor, who thrills non-medical people with the inside knowledge of hospitals, drug companies, research labs, etc. Anybody thinking of going into medicine should definitely gobble him up. Some of his novels have better plots than others, but they are all like mind candy, they can all be swallowed in one swallow, they are fast reads, always leave you. "COMA IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!!" according to Tionna Satterwhite. Coma is a great book about the medical field. The author is Robin Cook, who coincidentally is a doctor, who writes chilling stories about his practice.The title COMA has a lot to do with the main subject of the book. The book is about a college student named, Susan Wheeler and how she investagates how the many patients are slipping into comas unexpectally. She goes through many obstacles to try to the find the answers. None of the doctors or employees at the hospital want to help her. She then fiqures out the problem and that's when many people want bad things done to her. Robin Cook's style of writing is kin
