Coma

This is the book which catapulted Robin Cook's reputation as a pioneer of the genre of medical thrillers. The book is wonderfully conceived and the plot moves at an exhilarating pace. What I specifically liked about the book was the extensive description of the atmosphere of the hospital and the medical school, complete with emotional and psychological perceptions and forces in the inter relationship between surgeons, residents, nurses, anaesthesiologists, medical students and hospital administrators. The author vividly describes the feelings and thoughts of each of those parties, as they would appear in a real world setting. For a non medical reader, such a description affords valuable insights. This was my first Robin Cook book, and I thoroughly recommend reading it.

Font Size is too small, very difficult to read

Fabulous

In the era of Crime movies and series and the ease of access to it as children this book has just been a big bore to me.I can imagine my mother finding it thrilling when she was a child but it's so predictable now!

Nice book. A must read book for thriller lovers!

I am a Robin Cooks fan .This novel as any of RCs,was absorbing .Thanks to Amazon .I request Amazon to extend maximum possible discount on RCs novels so that I can build up my kindle library - Kripapuri Ganesan

Very bad printing

Robin cook always fascinates me with detail.I have read Coma long back in paperback.That did not change the interest level and suspense!!

I'm a huge fan of Robin Cook. I first read Acceptable Risk in 2004 when my Nanna lent my her copy and I loved the book, she then lent me some more books and I continued to devour them. I'm now re-reading them as a kindle version and some of them really haven't aged well. I'm a chemist and I work in the pharmaceutical industry so I'm not confused by some of the medical speak. Unfortunately the behaviour of the woman in his novel and the reactions of the men are so dated now. I also find it incredible that an intern would act like Susan and actually think she can get away with her behaviour; missing a lecture on her first day! Really?Generally the story is good and I do remember loving this book the first time I read it, it just hasn't aged well

I loved this book, was written well with good characters and was full of suspense.

This was a fantastic book, which had me hooked from the start. The story was easy to follow, the characters believable and likeable and though it seems far fetched, the reality is that this could happen.Highly recommended.

I read this book years ago and always remembered how gripping it was.I have reread it again and it did not disappoint however I have medical knowledge. I think it would be difficult to understand otherwise.Totally gripping read though

Read it before so replacement copt
