Rating: Summary: the best book i have read for some time Review: this was my first michael crichton book so i approached it with sceptisism. i was not dissappointed however as this had me gripped from start to finish.forced to write this review after reading the odd one or two give it 1 star out of 5. this is grossly unfair and deserves far far better. best book i have read in ages. i have since read "prey" by crichton and intend to purchase more of his books as they are geat reads.
Rating: Summary: I loved it Review: When I started reading, I really didnt have such high expectations for this book. I had liked Crichton for the Jurassica Park BOOKS(and books only) and Sphere, etc. This seemed a stretch for me but it ended up being my favorite of his books.
This story is another Crichton thriller--so you know what you're getting going in and you know how he's gonna move the story--but in this book there is something much more inviting and familiar. It is because he spends alot more time making you care about the main character(s). Though you can probably see the end coming(if you know his writings well enough), the characters and the path they use to get to that ending is what really makes this book.
