Just think of the efficiencies gained by never sleeping. Man, I could really chew through a lot of books. Unfortunately, it has some rather nasty side-effects the good corporate man would rather remain hidden. A few clues to whet your appetite: -Memory is chemical -N-Som ( the drug in question) is not synthetic -fetal memory is preferred over the memory of someone just killed -it pays to bribe mortuary assistants and couriers need to be careful not to drop a box -FDA approval might be a good thing -personality is a complicated exchange of neurotransmitters -mixing the neurotransmitters of different personalities is not desirable Normally I don't like medical thrillers, nor horror, but Konrath managed to get my attention with this title, and I dropped everything until it was finished. ( ) ecw0647 | Sep 30, 2013 | In "Disturb", Konrath creates a Robin Cook-like medical thriller revolving around a drug, N-Som, that makes sleep unnecessary. Think of the possibilities... As the inventors and researchers responsible for the creation of the drug start the process with the FDA to get N-Som approved, strange things begin to happen to the people responsible for the drug. Konrath does a great job introducing a number of plot-relevant characters that are fairly fleshed out. The book has plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of twists and turns as Konrath peels away the layers of suspense involved with the side effects that accompany the benefits of the drug. Most readers should find themselves flipping page after page as they attempt to figure which direction the next plot twist will take them. The book is almost cinematic in that respect and would make a nice film. Though not as riveting as "Afraid", "Disturb" is able to stand on its own feet and delivers thrills page after page. Fans of Konrath/Kilborn will want to add this book to their "read" list. coachtim30 | Jun 5, 2013 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
