An entertaining tale, but not a great one. It is a thriller, not a thesis. It is shallow, with logic gaps. Perfect for a cold weekend in front of the fireplace. ( )

This was a surprising slow read for me. The plot line was weak and mostly predictable, and both the protagonist and antagonist were frequently portrayed doing unbelievable things for unbelievable reasons. The background current of sex was a frequent theme for most characters, so much so that it became offensive, especially with the 14-16 year old characters. The book wasn't worth the time it took to read it - even though I was on a plane for 10 hours with nothing else to do. ( )

As far as biothrillers go this was rather run-of-the-mill, except...why couldn't I put it down? ( )

This story seemed more suspenseful the second time around listening to it on cd. ( )
