Title: Working too hard to contrive plot complications
Review: Michael Crichton has written some great books ("Andromeda Strain" and "Jurassic Park") and movies ("West World" -- one of my all time favorites). Unfortunately, this is not one of his best. I kept having the feeling that Crichton was working too hard to contrive plot complications instead of letting the plot grow out of the characters. But maybe with such wooden characters, he didn't have a choice (only the Lady Claire seemed interesting to me). For a month I read this book every night at bedtime, only advancing a few pages before it put me to sleep. Not my kind of page-turner.
