Title: Wow, Michael Crichton, wow...please stick to science-type thrillers! Dripping with XENOPHOBIA
Product review: Wow, Michael Crichton, wow...please stick to science-type thrillers! I'm a big Michael Crichton, and this book simply rubbed me the wrong way. The murder mystery is okay, not spectacular, and, more importantly, it is completely overshadowed by the sheer XENOPHOBIA this book is dripping with. This book is so saturated with xenophobic themes. At the same time, you get the feeling that Michael Crichton fancies himself as some kind of expert on Japanese culture and business practices. If it wasn't so irritating and misplaced, it would be kind of funny. Frankly, this book needs to come with a disclaimer: WARNING - EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE EXPECTING A MURDER MYSTERY, BE AWARE THAT IT IS SECONDARY TO BEING A FRONT FOR MICHAEL CRICHTON'S XENOPHOBIC VIEWS.
