Customer Reviews

Great Medical Thriller

I really enjoyed this book. The storyline was great; However, the ending left a lot to be desired. This was the first R.Cook novel I ever read and I was not dissapointed. Harmful Intent was suspense at its best.

Everything you want in a thriller

This book was great! It has everything you could want in a medical thriller. Technology,murder,love,and much more. The begining of this book grabs you with a situation that will touch your heart. You cant help but to shead a tear. Many people will relate to the situation that Jeffrey is in. Loosing everything you have worked for and loved in your life. The ending will make you happy you finished the book.

A simply great book......!

My first robin cook and i havent looked back from then on. Its been a long time since i read 'Harmful Intent' but i still remember it being a great read for a non-medicine background reader. The reason i still read 'robin cook' books is proof enough that i like him. He has a knack of blending suspense into situations which one may think as, well, day to day proceedings in hospitals etc. He is a great writer and this book is just another of his masterpieces.

The best realistic fictional medical book in a long time!

I thought that this book was very realistic. I liked how Robin Cook made you think just as Jeffrey Rhodes did. You could actually feel the suspence of the situation!

GREAT PLOT, GREAT BOOK

Yet another great novel from the best doctor-turned-novelist in all history. It could only be Robin Cook. Will this Robin Cook phenomona ever end?! I sure hope not! Of all his great books this one takes the cake. The story of an anesthesioligist on the run to learn the truth. with help from Kelly, an old friend of his, they uncover a medical conspiracy! You'll never guess the ending.
