Summary: Not up to par
Review: This wasn't a bad book by any stretch of the imagination, but it didn't nearly have the intense drama of the others I have read from Crichton. I was not on the edge of my seat, unable to put the book down.Unless you have read most of his others, hold off on this one.

Summary: A quick read.
Review: Though this book is a good and quick read. It is not up to the standards of Crichton's other books. But still better than many books out there. The Terminal man does keep your interest. This is an old time Sci-Fi story. You can tell that Michael Crichton did research on Psychology and the technical aspects of the age. Giving the story some semblance of fact. The story follows Harry Benson over a five day period. He is brouht into the hospital to undergo expermental surgery to try and supress his violent behavior. The hospital preforms brain surgery that consist of the neurosurgeon inserting electrodes in the brain. The electrodes are designed to sense when an episode is about to be triggerred, and stop it with soothing electrical pulse. But things do not work out exactly as the Doctors plan. The story starts out slow. But it does pick up the pace. Though you can predict how the book is going to end. You will want to finish it. Though written in the early 1970's, the story could be taking place today....I actually would place this between 3 and 4 stars.
