Customer Reviews

Gave me a lot to think about

I love books that keep me thinking after I've read them and this was one of those books.Although it is tagged as a suspense novel (and there is suspense and mystery), I thought it was more on the lines of giving us insight into a subject we all have an opinion on...abortion.The book gave me positive insight into both the pro-life movement and pro-choice, although...I think ends up being much more sensitive to the pro-choice side. The book also has some great stuff about women's right...a beautiful speech at the end. Makes me wonder if the author wrote the speech first and then wrote a novel around it so he could get the speech published.

A FIERCE DEBATE ABOUT ABORTION

A good work developing the principle of empathy. (the ability to share another person feelings and emotions). Outstanding, breakneck pace, mindboggling, suspense never ever ends until the last page. The unveiling of the fourth procedure is utterly chilling. The author have got what it takes to be an excellent writer When is his next one ?

The best abortion fiction I've read

I read this book with a little skeptism at first becaue it said it was a feminist view. I was very impressed with how the story laid out. It was kind of weird that those doctors were doing those experiments. A must read for any medical thriller reader.

Stunning page turner you can't put down

For those who love major thrillers, this is truly one with an outlandish premise that is easily believable. If you're too wrapped up in abortion politics, pass it by, but this novel is truly creative and easily believable. Don't miss it. Could be one of the top ten thrillers of this decade.

great book but where is he now?

This is a great story by an author who has done an incredible amount of research prior to his writing. I am waiting for a new release but have yet to see it. Sort of sci-fi but could happen.
