| The book Toxin is an exciting medical thriller. It begins with how the meat industry is not very effective in their inspection of meat. This causes Dr. Kim Reggis' daughter to become sick when she eats an infected hamburger. The story then ensues in Kim Reggis trying to find out as much as he can about the toxin that killed his daughter. This part of the story is long drawn out and down right boring. The plot doesn't really reach a climax after Kim's daughter dies. | ||
