↶ Look Inside

Paper Summary:

In this study of the book "Mutation" by Robin Cook the writer of the paper shows how Cook uses two distinct tones to address the reader - scientific detachment versus human concern. The writer shows that by using conflicting tones, Cook ensures that the reader does not take sides.

From the Paper:

"Most of the narrative traces the activities of Victor and Marsha, at home, at work and trying to discover their son. As is necessary to the plot, Cook devotes two sections of the novel to incidents involving the deaths of the Murray and Hobbs children (Chapter 2). This mention titillates us at the beginning; the reader sees a possible relationship with the story. It is only at the end that we discover that VJ ingeniously murders the two children (Chapter 14)."
