Re: Emailing: bio of Robin Cook

Interesting. He wrote one names 'Toxin'. Did

anyone see that? I think I'll check one of his

movies out. Can anyone recommend one? I like

thrillers as long as they are bloody...not bloody

is it?

None of his books have been made into movies, per se, except for " Coma " . He has

had some made into TV movies,

but I'm not sure how you'd go about renting those. Put imdb into your browser

and look up Robin Cook Coma and go from there. His books are good, though. Not

too bloody so far, but I'm only on #3. I like his attitude of teaching the

public about medical things they didn't know about. That's why I thought he'd

be perfect to write a novel about mold and call it " Spore " .

COMA was excellent and I think there was another with Hoffman. Most

of his books are really good. Our story would really be so good the public

probably wouldn't

believe it's true!!

I think Coma was his first. I've read that one and it's very good so is

Toxin which I read this summer at the beach.

They sound really good. I like science fiction

if it is not too, too far out. I'm going to pick

one up. Any recommendations on which one to

start with?

They are fictional stories but they are about real medical procedures as well as

fantastical distortions of those procedures, so you do learn something about the

field of medicine but in a fictional setting.

I have not read fiction for years. I am a self-help junkie. But I decided I

needed to relax a little so I am reading these because I love science and I love

mystery and these fit the bill for me. My personal opinion is that anything can

be educational, depending on how you look at it.

Coma, of course!! I read it when I was younger, before they made the movie, and

just loved it. He's not too far out, his 'weirdnesses' are conceivable in this

day and age.

People look at me like I'm NUTS when I say that I walk this way because of toxic

molds, Sue--but oh well......they'll just have to learn the hard way, I guess.

I'm not complaining, since I was never supposed to walk again--ever.
