Called by the reading community the celebrated writer of Medical thrillers, Robin Cook definitely manages to prove the tagline right. The technicalities and attention given to each portion of the chapter are simply flawless. With many characters around Dr Laurie Montgomery to support the plot, the author has ended each chapter with a cliffhanger through a sentence brewing suspense. Though I wished to see a lot of emotional encounters between the protagonist Laurie and Inspector Lou Soldano, it is very clever of Mr Cook not to have actually opted for such chemistry but just keep both of them constantly unleashing their egos whenever they had the slightest chance to do so. There has also been a lot of understanding about ophthalmic procedures, drug detection, drug-induced crime rates, cocaine intake ramifications, procedures carried out in a morgue and much more.What's more interesting is that despite having the story primarily revolve around the life of Laurie, monotony isn't felt at any point at all in the plot. The author has admirably established an interdependence between a bunch of gangland-style homicides and drug contamination/overdose upscale cases. Blindsight, pun intended, has created a beautiful interesting coherent link between the NY eye donors and Mafia executions that were carried out only to extract their eyeballs in order to get Paul Cerino, the Mafia boss to have his Corneal transplant ASAP. The sociopathic maleficence of Paul gives a perfect sensation to the Novel.
Blindsight- An electrifying ride you shouldn't miss.
