Nicole's Reviews > The Fifth Vial

Books that increase your paranoia are always fun to read, and this book did exactly that. Trust me when I say that I will ALWAYS pay attention to the color on the top of the vials they use to take blood from now on, and if a green one is in the mix, I'm running away... Fast. This book was very much written like Crichton's Next. Separate stories, told from separate points of view, seemingly unrelated that come together in the end. Although Palmer's writing was not nearly as advanced as Crichton's (who, let's face it, is an AMAZING writer), I greatly enjoyed this book. It was an excellent mix of adventure, puzzle-solving, romance (there is a little) and, of course, paranoia. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to solve mysteries and is interested in medical thrillers.
