This time a few disappointments--1. As always, Cook's mysteries are great, actions believable, but his dialogues read stilted and awkward. Jack and Laurie's conversation about deeply emotional subjects could have been more realistic. 2. The medical points of genetics genealogy should have been explained simpler; they read like voodoo mystery. 3. For once, Cook gave us an interesting, complex character Aria. She is the most fun character, IMHO, and I was so keen to see her solve the mystery and become like another Laurie (who has become too subdued of late), but Cook disappoints us! (not giving away the story). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2023* Too many deaths. It is a compelling story but I was sorry that so many highly educated and interesting characters had to die. Much better than his last book. ### ⭐⭐ The worst heroine ever *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020* I hadn't read a Robin Cook novel in quite some time, I grabbed GENESIS right away; I love medical thrillers. Lucky for me that I was already familiar with the author because the prologue would have discouraged me from getting to chapter one. Basically, the prologue is the scientific description of human conception told in some of the most flowery, purple prose I have ever read. So if you already know about the birds and the bees, skip to chapter one. The rest of the book however is very well written and thankfully stylistically does not resemble those first pages.The setup is established very slowly and in great detail - like everything else in this laborious novel.There is all the domestic drama regarding the Montgomery-Stapleton family, hospital politics, Laurie's job as Chief Medical Examiner. Then there are the descriptions: crisp and precise and often seemingly never-ending; do we need four pages or so for a character to enter a restaurant and reach their table? Or pages and pages on buildings, a subway ride, a bicycle ride, and a couple of autopsies irrelevant to the plot, but still accompanied by lengthy lectures? The main storyline is buried under an extraordinary amount of unnecessary details, slowed down even further by repetitions of entire events and conversations.Then there's Dr. Aria Nichols, the most unappealing heroine I have ever read. Aria is obnoxious, rude, vulgar, unprofessional, unpleasant; she hates men, she is selfish, insensitive, and a charmless sociopath. She is supposedly extremely brilliant yet she's not the one who comes up with the DNA suggestion. Almost immediately upon meeting her, I wished for her swift and very painful demise. My hate for the loathsome Aria greatly surpassed anything else: the fate of the good guys became secondary, and I didn't even care about the uninteresting murderer, unless they obliged in offing Aria. Had Aria been remotely palatable, the book would have been way more enjoyable; not great, but decent enough; her presence ruins everything. Let's put it this way: Dr. Aria Nichols is no Lisbeth Salander or Jane Doe.GENESIS overflows with all sorts of information on a myriad of topics, always excruciatingly detailed, except for the computer game Minecraft; I wonder why. Since the number of pages in the book was already too high by half, why not add even more pointless filler! There were some interesting plot twists: one - well, two actually, because one would have made the book shorter, perish the thought one should come to the point relatively quickly! - which was a great shame as the sole bright light was extinguished; the other twist was totally unexpected and ever so thrilling but came too late.I identified the baddie almost the minute they were introduced, courtesy of the very unsubtle clues provided by the author. Had it not been so evident to the reader, it might have made the book slightly more compelling, because most of the characters - save one who should have seen the signs - couldn't possibly have guessed sooner than they did. The ending, unfortunately, was very predictable as well as underwhelming. In conclusion, if you're looking for an exciting medical thriller, look elsewhere, GENESIS is not it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/124766650-genesis-jack-stapleton-and-laurie-montgomery-book-12](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/124766650-genesis-jack-stapleton-and-laurie-montgomery-book-12) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
