The Andromeda Strain

Rating:
Summary: A breakout debut effort by a master storyteller
Review: It's hard to believe that The Andromeda Strain can still strike fear into people, especially since it was written thirty years ago, and was the breakout work by one of America's more prolific authors...The novel's readibility keeps the story interesting, as does the subject matter...Although no one has proven conclusively if we are all alone in this universe, The Andromeda Strain pulls off a very interesting, and very frightening, what-if...

Summary: Gripping!
Review: This book will keep you up till it is time to get up the next morning. If you like Michael Chrichton you'll be stuck to your chair long after your normal curfew. A great story dealing with science. I've already read Airframe and this one was almost as good. Most of Chrichton's science is pretty simple even if the diagrams don't make much sense. If you liked The Lost World and Jurrassic Park this book isn't as brutal. A book well worth reading even if you don't like it.

Summary: Cool...
Review: A little adult, hard to understand all of the time, but I enjoyed it. It was deep and suspenseful.

Rating:
Summary: That's a spicy meatball!
Review: This book was a great thriller! I read it until my eyes hurt! I only put it down after sheer exaustion forced me to. Crichton is amazing! He writes for all ages! I am 12 and I appriciate his writing. He is da' bomb!

Summary: Perfect
Review: This book could not have possibly been better. The way the author described the disease was simply fastinating. It was interesting to see how a disease could literally wipe out an entire civilization. We don't really think about that nowadays, but it really is true. This book was pretty much perfect

Rating:
Summary: Amazing.
Review: This book is probably the best thriller I have ever read. Crichton starts out strong, and within two days in this story reaches a strength you don't see in many books. Note: I am only 11 yeras old, but the story compelled me.

Rating:
Summary: good book with excellent narration
Review: The Andromeda Strain audiobook held my interest, even through the most complicated parts. The narrator, Chris Noth, increased my enjoyment of this book with his talented reading style. The accents and vocal qualities used were excellent. I've listened to 3 other audiobooks by Mr. Noth, all of which were dynamic.

Rating:
Summary: Good book for sci-fi lovers.
Review: This book is a good sci-fi, but a little slow in the begining. Once you start reading it, it keeps you on the edge of your chair. It has a very good ending. Lots of scientific words, but an overall great book!!!

Summary: A well written science fiction novel.
Review: The Andromeda Strain es aout a microscopic strain that has the ability to kill humans within seconds. A team formerly assembledes brought together in an underground lab to find a cure. I liked how the author described the scientific part ein detail. He used real terms and things to make this novel seem more real. I did not care for the ending. It seemed to end to abrubtly. As if it was wrapped up in a hurry. I do recommend this book, for several reasons. The author, Micheal Crichton, is a very talented writer and this book is an overall well sritten novel. He makes it interesting without much action. The way he brought suspense is completely unique and very clever.
