Cook, Robin -- Chromosome 6

Cook - a good last name for a guy who finds a thin plotline and wraps the same story again and again.

Historically, great novelists created great sequel characters, Poirot and Jeeves for example. What happens when sad authors try to do the same thing?

Jack, happens...

This is a dude, I am really sorry for. Apart from losing his family, he also gets the dullest characterization from his creator.

Moving onto the novel, "Run of the mill" doesn't say it enough. You have a guy who mysteriously manipulates, guess what, the sixth chromosome to, let's say do something. The writing is in such a way that the plot is supposed to be unobvious to you. How lame....

Well, shift bases between New York and some country in Africa for no good reason. And then mysteriously, Jack and his whole adult Hardy Boys and Nancy Girls band lands up in the jungle where they have a world class facility set up to run at a loss in anticipation of some future.

The book is full of unemotional codswallop, unbelievable behavior, sloppy villians, heroes and protohumans. Oh don't worry about me giving away part of the wane plot...your mystery book reading interests will not survive this book.

Rating 0.5/5 If this was your first novel ever, you could look forward to much better books.

I hope Robin Cook stops "cookin' "
