Very Good Author, but this book was VERY disappointing. I would not reccommend this book at all.
I had some pretty high expectations for this book having read some of Crichton's past novels. I must say that this lacked the adventure that his past works have included. The literary quality was still there, but I missed the suspense.
This book was so disjointed that there was nothing enjoyable about it. What a disappointment from an author who has given us many good stories.
I was intrigued enough by the subject of this book to pick it up, but I was pretty disappointed. New characters were constantly being introduced while Chrichton was trying to educate me about genetic engineering. It wasn't until the last quarter of the book that I started to care about the few characters that I could latch onto. After I finished reading this book, I felt like I wanted to read it again. Not because I found it so enjoyable, but because I thought that a second read might enable me to put together all the puzzle pieces I had just uncovered. I decided it wasn't worth the effort.
I listen to audiobooks on my computer, this CD has certain chapters titled with which makes the file unreadable on my computer.
