Title: Waste of paper
Review: In my opinion, the "reviewers" are right to rant. First of all, the novel is utterly bad! Anyway you look it. From a novel perspective, it is downright horrible. And there are more than enough accurate reviews here for me to have to re-review anything about this... well, I would say "novel", but that would be stretching it. Second, the "scientific arguments" are so one-sided that they themselves become dull and boring, making for an even worse read. If Crichton (and that's Crichton with an "r", Leonard) wanted to to make us, the public, think about Global Warming, there are plenty of forums in the popular science literature for that: and there his comments would have got the proper place, and proper review, and proper forum for rebuttal. Like a bad scientist, Crichton presented biased, over-inflated arguments to a naieve audience. This action borders on criminal, and flies in the face of peer-review, something of value to the responsible scientists amongst us. This IS a bad book.
