This is a gripping story and it is a page turner. The storyline kept me interested. I think the twists in the story were a bit simple and predictable and the characters were not developed as well as they should have been.

This is my third book by Cook and I'm still just not sure how I feel about him. This was my favorite so far, it does grip you right from the beginning and is a scary concept. The end is kind of Jaws-ish :)

A baby is born to a surrogate and almost immediately his parents realize that he is far more intelligent than anybody else they have ever known. But that's not all he is. A scary medical thriller.

Robin Cook's writing is such that no review would ever do it justice. But this book was excellent!

The dust jacket is missing though.
