Reviews for Donor

[rhodonite_1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

An easy read while on holiday, but the further I read into the book the less I felt I connected with it. The theme of underhand practices in a transplant ward was interesting but there was too much low level detail of the main characters travels & thought process. For a doctor, an ex military man & a government investigator he had quite a knack for missing the obvious! Also, naming the animal research intitute Vane Farm seemed odd, given that only 60 miles from where the novel is set the there actually is a wildlife park named Vane Farm. (my local knowledge admittedly, but there must have been many Scots reading this making the same connection)
