Wow!
Several patients who were positive for the virus are now testing negative. One thing that really stuck out as disappointing in a fictional story, and especially when written by a pro like Coben, was some of the character development. It’s a very old book, written in the 90s about the AIDS virus so it was pretty outdated, and parts of it were pretty brutal/violent.
I have since began the series from the first book and look forward to each title in the series. Published Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. Because it is so bad, you probably won't finish it.I loved this one!

Yes, the title says it all. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2011. Right, Nellie? He loves his all star all American basketball, doesn’t he?!
Thought it was a new release, and didn't realize it was a re-release until I read the letter from Harlan Coben at the very beginning of the book.I loved this one!

Coben says in his intro that it's a very early book, and a bit rough in places... so why publish?When an author is just starting out, rejected manuscripts are expected. We're seeing a great assortment of highly anticipated mysteries and thril...They're one of the country's most telegenic couples: beloved TV journalist Sara Lowell and New York's hottest basketball star, Michael Silverman. 1st, there's a lot of soapboxing about the religious right, the villains are cartoonish with the main villain being just vile, the killing spree is so unsubtle I would've thought there'd be a major taskforce investigating, & the plotting is a little too contrived. Not everyone dies anymore.I love Coben. I usually love all his work, but this time it felt a bit 'meh'.I'm on a mission to read all of Harlan's stand alone novels in order and this one is actually worst than his first.
Enjoyed reading this thriller. Coben is easily one of my favorite authors. Then one day, very out of character for me, I read Long Lost,the newest book in the Myron Bolitar series.
Coben says as much in the intro when he urges readers to put the book away if they've never read his books before.
Still it was a good book which told the story of a tv reporter, her basketball husband, their friend a doctor involved in aids research and some higher ups in the governement. I like Harlan Coben's books...the only one that didn't fare well in my reviews was the one he actually narrated himself...not good. Miracle Cure William Rosen The epic history of how antibiotics were born, saving millions of lives and creating a vast new industry known as Big Pharma.As late as the 1930s, virtually no drug intended for sickness did any good; doctors could set bones, deliver babies, and offer palliative care. While it may suffer from the years gone by and Aids is not what it was then, the book did have merit and I would recommend eading it.A very good novel from a young Harlan Coben. The first part of book was slow and I almost gave up on it. (I have taught baccalaureate nursing for 40 yrs so know the territory.)
I'm used to a Coben book taking off from page one and not letting me go until I've finished the last word.I'm a huge Harlan Coben fan but Miracle Cure wasn't one of my favorites of his. This is only my second novel that I have read by Harlan Coben and it won't be my last. IMO this one should have stayed out of print and out of mind. What if there was a cure for the AIDS virus?
This book brought up some major problems the world has now and one of them is money and where it should be allocated. I listened to the Audio narrated by Scott Brick, who I love.
In the author's note at the beginning, Harlan Coben pretty much apologizes for this book. He's my most-read author and definitely one my all time favourites. It also got crushed in an accident, had no headroom, and was open-air.
I was a little bit apprehensive in reading this one as the author wrote a letter at the beginning of the book warning the reader to put it down or return it if they have not read any of his more recent work. I usually love all his work, but this time it felt a bit 'meh'.Okay, most of you know I'm a massive Harlan Coben fan. It was a thriller from beginning to end and I was on the seat of my pants.

Several patients who were positive for the virus are now testing negative. He vividly points out that there are some notorious physicians and hospital administrators who are ruled by the almighty dollar and/or power.
Plot summary. Don't get me wrong it still had all the excitement of a Coben book, but it just didn't capture me like some of his others. While I enjoyed it, it lacked the sarcasm that I have come to love from his characters like Myron, Win and Esperanza. Coben's later books are much better.I’m usually a huge Harlan Coben fan, but this book did not age well. While I enjoyed it, it lacked the sarI beggan reading Harlan Coben with his breakout book Tell No One. 0945167393 This is not the same quality as many of his other books .while to satisfy some critics he did include some rather detailed descriptions of several medical procedures but they did nothing to add to the story .It was fairly easy to guess as to who was betraying him .overall,I never really got all that interested .I do not recommend to future readers
