3. Shock - Robin Cook 2 years ago

Two new-to-me authors in one week? Well, this one was accidental. I’m not much into medical thrillers, so wouldn’t have read this book if a work colleague hadn’t left it with me when I was at a loose end.

This will sound odd coming from someone who loves SF and fantasy, but I simply didn’t find it plausible. Not the technology, but the rest of it. Why would a guy with such an obvious, striking genetic disorder think he could clone himself without someone cottoning on? Why does a company doing something so screamingly illegal have so many holes in its security system? And why don’t two educated women smell a rat much earlier, like before one of them ends up minus an ovary? I could go on, but…I wasn’t impressed, let’s say.

I ploughed through it because I had nothing else to do, but I don’t think I’ll bother with the other one she left me. Each to their own…
