Review: A Good Read, not great but  still enjoyable.

Yes, the characters are shallow, lacking background or context. Yes, the story is contrived. But this book fits perfectly in its genre of "scifi/medical/thriller," and it is quite similar to a Robin Cook/Michael Chrichton novel.The book's formatting was troublesome, especially the absence of any visual cues for scene changes within a chapter. This, plus some specific typographical errors, led me to suspect that this novel's text was scanned and converted using OCR software, and would have benefited from a few hours of a proofreader's time.No, it's not a great book, and yes, it's formulaic, and some elements of the story line tested my ability to suspend disbelief. But it was an enjoyable read.
