Summary: Not Crichtons best, but good
Review: Andromeda Strain was good, but I think it doesn't rival Sphere or Jurassic Park. It had a great theme, but the ending was a little depressing, I mean, you just expect a little more from a killer organism then simply transforming to eat rubber, don't you

Review: It all started when the Scoop VI satellite landed from the earth's outer atmosphere with a bacteria and landed in the tiny Arizona twon of Piedmont.
Quickly the government organizes a team of experts to examine the satellite and and find a cure for the bacteria (if they can) that clots the blood and kills the individual within 3 seconds. The team works day and night to find the link between the towns only survivors and the novel reaches a horrifying climax

Summary: Great book!
Review: Crichton's earlier stuff really was cutting-edge, excitement. Lately, however he's become an industry-a good one too. Another doc author out of australia, richard greenwald is really hot and brings an indiana jonesish spin to his thrillers- his books are hard to get in the us-but well worth it - the spear of golgotha is really a great book

Summary: A marvelous work of Sci-Fi history. The Best of the Best!
Review: Michael Crichton does his magic again in this spine tingling tale of an alien virus brought to Earth by a sattelitte. It helps us to realize and fear our own fraility and inability to adapt to new diseases. Once you pick this book up, you WON'T put it down! This is truley a new Classic in the Sci-Fi genre

Summary: The first of the series and a great book!
Review: The Andromeda Strain is an exciting and tantalizing book by Michael Chrichton. The idea that a foreign organism from space could do so much damage is entirely possible. Especialy since recently they have descovered bacteria on Mars!
This book will keep your interest!

Summary: CRICHTON'S BEST! A TENSE THRILLER!
Review: The Andromeda Strain, like Crichton's other novels, is greatly researched. I learned more about diseases and technology than I could from
reading a textbook!
Not only is The Andromeda Strain factual, it is fast-moving and tense. The text conjures up surprisingly real images in your mind. You could almost swear this was an actual event that happened in the 60's.
The Andromeda Strain is like a burning fuse strapped to a cluster charge. The fuse gets shorter and shorter, giving a whallop of suspense, and when the fuse gets to the cluster charge...IT EXPLODES WITH AN AWESOME CLIMAX!!

Summary: Looking for Love, won't find it here.....
Review: Have you ever read a book about the unknown? Have you ever read a book about the known? Probably. Have you ever read a book that has combined both the known and unknown into one book? Probably not. This book is for you. This is a true life story that is so far out that you question the validity every page. If you didn't then this would not be one of my favorite books. No other book has ever turned the Real into the Unreal quite like this book. Once you read it once you are scared. Once you read it twice...you are still scared. If you haven't read this book already, you better because tomorrow the Andromeda Strain might mutate and take you down, too!

Summary: AN INTRESTING AND RIVETING NOVEL BY THE KING OF THRILL
Review: A very intresting story about a killer virus that lands on Earth in a contaminated satellite called Scoop. The virus clotts up your blood or drives you to the brink of total insanity and causes you to calmly kill yourself in sometimes a very odd fashion. If Crichton keeps this sort of novels coming out for a while longer he will be known as the king of the technothriller, or the master of suspense. If you haven't read any of his books, and you're looking for a intresting and suspenseful author who delivers a powerhouse of a novel every time he writes, read Crichton, and read The Andromeda Strain
The reason I enjoyed this novel so much is that he doesn't write it from the viewpoint of someone who is running from the virus, but someone who is trying to stop it. If you are planning to go to the library anytime soon, check this out and start reading it ASAP.

Summary: Contrived and forced, not the best of Crichton
Review: First and foremost, a book has to be entertaining. At times, Andromeda Strain entertains, but most the time I found myself just wishing it was over so I could move to something not so slow and tedious - like watching golf. Like most of Crichton's books, learning about the abstract or obscure permeates the story, however it lacks the enthusiasm and creativity that "Jurassic Park" or "Rising Sun" exemplify. I felt as if I was reading a bad attempt to make medical history and bio-epidemiology fun
