The Prize by Geoffrey M Cooper is about Pam Weller, a thirty-six-year-old faculty member at Langmere Institute for Neurological Disease. Since her mother started showing signs of memory loss, she started looking for a treatment drug for Alzheimer’s disease. She also hopes to achieve a tenured professorship at the Langmere Institution. She is the main character in the book. Eric Prescott, Director of the Institute for Advanced Neuroscience is a very self assured man whose goal it is to achieve the Nobel Prize to add to his current collection of awards and achievements, and he is prepared to take extreme measures to achieve it. Holly Singer, a young postdoc who works for Pam, wants the credit as first author for the Alzheimer’s experiments. She would eventually resort to betrayal to get what she wants.
Betrayal and conspiracy is a big part in The Prize. I liked how Pam used the help of the people in her life that is closest to her to help solve her problems and dilemma in the middle of a big crisis in her life. She kept her cool and trusted her boyfriend, Jake, the most. He played a big part in her life. Jake did some great detective work and planned every step carefully before attempting it. He is a very strong and clever character. Pam was my favorite in the book. She was so strong and stuck to her truth even after her colleagues let her down and turned their backs on her. That is what made it a great read.
This book was very well thought out. The plot of this story is all about the disease Alzheimer’s and finding a cure and having the credit for doing so. I like that The Prize is very well written. It seems that the author did a lot of research about the disease Alzheimer’s when writing this book. The book had some good descriptions about the Alzheimer’s experiments and formulas.
The author did a good job of connecting the subplots together. The book had no loose ends. It has a good narrative. There was not anything in the book that I did not like. I was very drawn to the story. I could only find one grammatical error. It was very refreshing to read a book with no errors it it.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars. The reason for giving it 4 out of 4 stars is that the book had a great story and I greatly enjoyed reading it. The flow of the book was good. It kept me captivated and wanting to find out what is going to happen next. People who enjoy medical dramas will enjoy this book. I would recommend this book to people from young adult up to elder people. It does not have any explicit content in it.
