Summary: Clearly Crichton doesn't know any actual people who work.
Review: Grammar and spelling ok. Crichton's frustrations and fear are everywhere, but the story doesn't fly with anyone I know who's ever been an executive. Or, come to think of it, anyone who works outside the home. I assume it was the only way he could cash in on harassment publicity, but his talents would have been more on display if he had had the courage to write a villian he knows about (a la Lolita). May it never truly happen to him--I'd much rather hear the song he sings then.

Summary: Great
Review: This book was great. I have read it 15 times. It is the best book I have ever read. I don't think any real person would start joining in though when he was being sexually harrased.

Summary: The trick in Meredith's name
Review: In spite of Mr. Crichton's alleged aim of creating controversy and establishing the scientific, unprejudiced fact that women can be as sexist as men, several clues betray his true feelings on the subject: 1) Meredith is not a true feminine name as Wanda or Maria, for instance. In fact, it is rather a man's name, the choice of which might have been made on purpose, or it may be a subconscious revelation. What to say of "Johnson"? This agressive woman is indeed characterized as a man, I think as a literary resource to provoke echoes of masculine abuse of power: Meredith, John, Son are all men. The point is that Meredith Johnson is intended as a hermaphrodite character, one that could be either a woman or a man, one that could be anybody's boss. Yet, the behaviour of women is more perverse in Mr. Crichton's opinion, for while men sexually harass peers to satisfy a sudden animal libido, women actually use sexual attraction as a weapon in both their private and their professional lives.
2) On the other hand, Sander's sexist thoughts at watching the empty fridge, and his criticism at his wife's lack of housekeeping skills might betray some prejudiced ideas on the author's part. My conclusion after reading, not only this book, but others (such as The Rising Sun, where the detective's wife is not capable of changing diapers properly), is that Mr. Crichton's intellectual trends and his feelings are not exactly matched. While his intelligence and education tend to prevent him from being prejudiced, he harbors some resentment, most likely based on what he considers his own vital overexertion in terms of house and baby chores. This resentment is subtle and humble, but it exists in many of his books. Disclosure is his final outburst, a way to vent his feelings on the subject.
Overall, another excellent novel, although I do feel the author needs to plot better ends. He is terrific at building up suspense, but the solutions simply are below what should be expected. Or maybe we are used to expecting only the best of him.

Summary: One of the most provocative books ever!
Review: When I first began to read Disclosure I didn't know what to expect.But what I got was one of the best books I've ever read.Crichton puts so much depth into his charecters that you feel as if they're your relitives.And I love the idea that it's not always the man doing the sexual harassment.By the end of this book you really begin to hate the charecter of Meredith Johnson.I recomend this book to everybody.

Summary: You haven't missed anything if you've seen the movie.
Review: You can tell that Crichton was writing this just hoping it would become a big movie.

Summary: Crichton's best book...I loved it!!!
Review: Of all of Crichton's books, this one is the best. I loved it, and am still awed at the way that he can weave a story out of the thin air. His intelligence and ingenuity sparkle in Disclosure, and I don't think that he will ever be able to top this in his future novels.

Summary: One of the more "educating" books out there
Review: I loved this book, frankly because it hit so close to home. Like all Crichton books, it educated as it entertained, and it was a great book.

Summary: Crichton's best
Review: This is probably Mihcael Crichton's best novel, the chief reason being his choice of the protagonist. His other novels have chosen experts on the given subject (i.e., Alan Grant and Ellen Sattler in Jurassic Park: experts on dinosaurs)to be the main characters, or have included a character whose main purpose is to be Crichton's mouthpiece (like Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park). Disclosure gives us a worm's eye view: the main character, Tom Sanders, knows close to nothing about sexual harrassment. And the characters are developed so that you know more about thier personal lives, not just the part of their lives that relates to the story: a complete history is formed for each. They think in real-life terms, not with technically oriented brains. Disclosure is Crichton's best excercise in character development, but also keeps intact the detail that makes all of his novels enjoyable. Disclosure is, in my view, Michael Crichton's best work.

Summary: Michael Crighton has done it again
Review: Micheal Crighton has displayrd reality and made this so believeable that you think that you're a character in it. It also brings up many interesting issues that help show the corperate world for what it sometimes is

Summary: Disclosure: A GOOD Novel
Review: While this book was good, it had more pages than it should've had.
