As usual for Robin Cook, I had a difficult time putting this book down. It grabs your attention and keeps it all the way until the last page.

I liked this story by Robin Cook. It was different from most of his books. It is quite disgusting and frightening to read about the beef industry. It makes me want to become a vegetarian.

Very interesting yet frightening subject matter. If everything in the book about the food/beef industry is true, it's a wonder people don't get sick more often.

I felt compassion for the characters in the story, but much of what Dr. Reggis did in attempt to expose the culprits seemed incredible. Who would risk their life and narrowly escape a hitman so many times?

Still a good read that I'd recommend.

Excellent review of the meat packing industry. You will never eat a fast food hamburger again! I haven't!
