Summary: "Hospital Drama"
Review: I liked the book A CASE OF NEED because it is a book I could and hopefully will relate to in the future. It's a hospital drama. There are several doctors that think they are all better than each other. So therefore they want all the control over hospital operations. The content of my book was wonderful. I understood the book chapter by chapter--it hooked me. I related to the book because I want to be a doctor and I want to be in charge and challenge the Administration. I could throw myself right into the characters' shoes and play from scratch. The book is within the field that I want to be part of.

Summary: Not as good as I expected...
Review: Most of Crichton's work is excellent, and this was not quite as good. I guess you have to take into consideration it was his first book. I thought it was extremly stupid for a doctor to be out questioning witnesses and seaking around taking pictures. Shouldn't this have been left up to a private investigator or the police? This book did give you an excellent view into the medical world, though. The medical abbreviations were very confusing, and so were some of the terms. The characters were very believable. Before diving into this book, I'd read some of his others.

Summary: Not as good as expected ....
Review: because, in my opinion, 1) there were too many characters than neccessary (I kept getting names mixed up), 2) a lot of jargons, terms, abbrieviations, etc., were very well explained, but the reason why Karen Randall had gained weight and become hairy prior to her death as noticed by almost every other character was omitted, surprisingly. I assume it was a symptom of being addicted to whatever she was getting high on or did I miss something? (If somebody would care to enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.), 3) Not enough 'suspense' factor. Otherwise, it was educational and thought-provoking.

Summary: Abortions anyone?
Review: I felt that this was a fairly well written book. The book is similar to one of his later books "Airframe" in that there is a lot of investigative work, but hardly any action.I was hooked to this book because it was very suspenseful and had a very well thought out plot to it. My only complaint about this book is that there were so many characters that the characters and their roles in the story had become confusing to me. However, I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to almost anyone. Before reading this book I was pro-choice and I must say that this book has further supported my beliefs.

Summary: Another Crichton Masterpiece
Review: Of all the Michael Crichton books i have read in the past, A Case of Need was my favorite. It was an edge of your seat thrill ride keeping you guessing until the end. The intertwining mix of medicine and mystery was great. You will not be able to put this book down. You cant go wrong by reading this book.

Summary: Buy it! Read it! Stat!!
Review: Great book, Great story, greatly manipulates the reader. This book is by far the book that should have been 'medical students choice award'. If there ever was one. It inspires , it spits in your face with details and will consume you in a heart beat.

Rating: 
Summary: I was very disappointed in this book.
Review: I found it to start out great but then the story dragged on too long. I loved Disclosure and Rising Sun and felt like I wasted my time with this book.
