Title: Not his best work, but still good.
Review: The criticisms of this book seem to fall into two groups:1. Diatribes against Crichton's debunking of global warming2. Critiques of the unlikely characters and plot twistsYou can dismiss #1 -- that's just a bunch of people whose religion is being threatened. And make no mistake, environmentalism is a religion to many people. #2 is legitimate criticism. Some of the stuff that happens in the book is far-fetched to the point of silliness. Overall, though, I think Crichton's two aims were to write a reasonably entertaining story, and to cast suitable doubt on the idea that the earth is turning into a deadly, hot greenhouse and we have to do something NOW!I believe he succeeded in both aims.
