Summary: not worth the time
Comment: I am usually interested in medical drama, but I almost gave up on this book after the first few pages. The language was choppy and stilted. It was supposed to appeal to teenagers, but I am a teenager, and it just sounded fake. I don't think anyone actually talks like that unless they are in Beverly Hills or on TV. It was a soap opera in book form. Just the names of the characters would tell you that -- Zoey, Tristan, Summer... The plot was choppy and I didn't feel like the characters were developed enough to feel any connection with them. There also wasn't very much actual medical drama...the book focused more on the interaction between the SCRUBS and the mean doctors. Finally, the ending was pure gimmick, and while it was a cliff-hanger, it didn't make me want to read the next book.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Comment: I have read a few of Cherie Bennett's books, and then one Trash book by Bennett and Gottesfeld, but so far, I have to say this is the best of the books by these two great authors that I have read so far. I have yet to read the rest of the books in the University Hospital series, and believe me, I WILL read every single one of them!

Summary: Cherie Bennett usually does MUCH better than this!
Comment: Five teens are selected to work in a SCRUBS program as as pre-interns in a hospital the summer before college begins. Narrated by two of the characters, the first book in this new series alternates between Zoey and Tristan, with no rhyme or reason to who's turn it is to speak. Zoey and Tristan hate one another at first sight then become friends, then decide they like one another, but neither will admit it. And anyways, Tristan is doing the polished and sophicasted intern, Summer. How very Dawson's Creek. None of the characters are sympathetic, and I could care less what happens next. One character falls for a terminally ill patient with no explanation or romance. Summer may be cheating on Tristan. I was especially annoyed by girl-next-door type Zoey, who kept "psuedo swearing" (saying fluck instead of f**k, etc...). If you are looking for good series romance, try SVH: Senior Year by Pascal or Making Out by Applegate.
