Title: Atlas Shrugged/DaVinci Code-ish
Review: Kenner's frequent diatribes on the faulty environmental movement remind me of John Gault's on objectivism in Atlas Shrugged. And, Crichton has shaken up people's scientific and environmental beliefs much like Brown did for people's religious beliefs in the DaVinci Code.I appreciated the wealth of research Crichton put into this book. I read the book in 4 days so it was definitely a page-turner. However, I couldn't give it 5 stars because the ending was weak. I wanted resolution between Morton and Drake. I wanted something to happen between Sarah and Peter. I wanted somebody to be arrested for the many crimes committed. Crichton laid too much groundwork and spent too much time developing so many characters (even though I admit some stereotyping occurred) to just end with Morton's idealistic dreams about re-inventing the environmental movement. Overall, I'm glad I read it.
