They’re one of the country’s most telegenic couples: beloved TV journalist Sara Lowell and New York’s hottest basketball star, Michael Silverman. Their family and social connections tie them to the highest echelons of the political, medical, and sports worlds - threads that will tangle them up in one of the most controversial and deadly issues of our time. In a clinic on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, a doctor has dedicated his life to eradicating a divisive and devastating disease. One by one, his patients are getting well. One by one, they’re being targeted by a serial killer. And now Michael has been diagnosed with the disease. There’s only one cure, but many ways to die....

Liked this very much. Plot was good, narration was good, you cared about the characters. Villain was detestable, exactly what a villain should be.

Enjoyable thriller

I really enjoyed this story, it was suspenseful, lots of twists and turns and I was not able to guess the ending. I did not pay much attention to the aids epidemic as I was never personally touched. So it was good to get some historical info and a sense of how crazy people were. It was a most enjoyable story.

Harlan warned us in the intro it was his second book and not as good as later books. He was right.

It was ok

What did you like best about Miracle Cure? What did you like least?

The gratuitous violence thought necessary to make the point

What other book might you compare Miracle Cure to and why?

Like most other thrillers with HIVas the main story line

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Scott Brick has a good voice albeit he is excessively melodramatic and after awhile all his characters sound the same. Just read the story without all of the excessive conspiratorialy voicing.

Did Miracle Cure inspire you to do anything?

No, unless avoiding other Harlan Coben's stories if they exhibit the same level of unecessary discriptions of violence.

The Violent Politics of HIV & Est'd Medical Rsrch

No, I really do not like Harlan Coben. I listen because he is the favor writer of my husband. He preaches.

Would you ever listen to anything by Harlan Coben again?

yes, but I will not do it anymore,not even if the books is free

Which scene was your favorite?

No one

Do you think Miracle Cure needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No way

Not the best

I’m not sure if it was the narrative or the narrator. As the book was wrapping up it was difficult to know who the narrator was in the book. This made the twists a bit confusing. Thus a good book was not as good as it may have been with 2 narrators or a change in voices.
This happened on the last book I listened to and I kept backing it up and re-listening. Now I understand why.
I do enjoy the writer.

This started out with a punch but made a turn as a very contrived patchwork of real/probable events in loose disguise with an unpolished overall story. It had great potential that was unfortunately not achieved. Toward the last 3rd or so of the story, it sounded like an old 1940s B&W drama. I’m not sure whether it was the narration or the story itself that just didn’t cut it. As I said, the concept was a great foundation for a spectacular story-especially given the time period in which this was written.

Interesting concept that lost impact

I think Harlon's talent could've still been seen if he hadn't felt the need to write about with vulgarity and about the 'sexual ' happenings.
For me it to away from the story.

could've been better
