Title: Oh, Please!!
Review: I picked this book up at O'Hare, figuring it would be an entertaining read for a long flight. Wrong. Crichton has apparently bought into the Bush/Cheney mantra that anyone who disagrees with "prevailing thought" (as the right wing nutcases present it) is by definition a Terrorist! He paints the entire environmental movement (barely disguising real life, important organizations with his invented names)as frothing-at-the-mouth lunatics bent on destroying the world in order to save it. No, Michael, that would be YOUR buddies in the "global warming is bunk" bed. And it's not even well written!! Geeeez, can't he get anything right? The characters are totally unbelievable, one-dimensional with absolutely no nuance. Every woman is gorgeous, sexy, athletic and either GOOD (blonde) or EVIL (Asian and exotic). Give me a break! I left it on the plane, lamenting the $8 (EIGHT BUCKS?? Was I nuts??) spent.
Is this product review negative?
