Synopsis

From Michael Crichton, the #1 bestselling author of Jurassic Park and The Andromeda Strain, comes an astounding, eye-opening look at the world of genetics: Next.
 
Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why a chimp fetus resembles a human being? And should that worry us? There’s a new genetic cure for drug addiction—is it worse than the disease?
 
Devilishly clever, Next blends fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems, and genetic ownership shatters our assumptions.

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.
