Customer Reviews

Excellent overview via fiction novel of drug company excess

This was truly a frightening novel based on a lot of fact and not without some fear after reading it. A drug company gone mad using human experimentation to sell more product. The four books Dr. Cook recommends for research at the end are truly enlightening. This was a quick read

Great story!

Yes I realize this story is far-fetched, but I enjoyed it anyway. The characters were interesting, the plot moves along swiftly and there's never a dull moment. My only disappointment with this book was that you're not told what ultimately happens to the men from Arolen. Other than that it's a great read.

Captivating

This was one of the, if not the most captivating novels that i have ever read. It kept you guessing, and when the truth was finally revealed, you have no choice but to say "oh my God!" I have read a few medical thrillers and this is a must read.

I enjoyed the book!! This book was a compelling page turner!

Mindbend, I think, is an excellent example of the reality of the drug firms that strive only to make more profit rather than to provide customers with best quality and safe medication. I am indeed seeing more and more of this kind incident where there is too much risk in a drug in case of malfunctioning. I think that many of the drug companies are not responding to the complaints of those who have suffered from the harmful side-effects. Hopefully, this book will be a public warning for those drug companies with an intent of earning money rather than to give perfect cures.

Just overwhelming!

This book has inpired me of the terrible Fact of the society. I would recommend this book to all employees of any drug companies.
