A review by gearsofted
Brain by Robin Cook

2.0

Yeesh. First Robin Cook novel, and I was left underwhelmed. Was hard to follow at points, characters would show up then never reappear. Characters were cardboard cutouts, didn’t really care that much. Sometimes got a little too descriptive to the point where I wasn’t even sure what the hell was happening. Plus, he would frequently change how he referred to characters throughout the book, and because they weren’t well established (and all talked the same), it became difficult to tell who was who. I.e., would call a character by their first name, then switch mid paragraph to their last name, before switching back to the first for a sentence, then back and forth and just...yeah. Rookie mistake. Anyway, I want to try one or two more of his books, and see if maybe the subject matter interests me a little more (because he definitely knew his shit, and I like technical details)
