Negative Positive
Title: Timely, but little else
Review: It's so discouraging to see that he's orienting his current work towards a future movie screenplay. I truly loved his early books; Congo, A Case of Need, Andromeda Strain, Sphere, but Airframe and The Lost World were just terrible. Shallow writing, no suspense, nothing to grab you from the get-go and keep you through the entire book. It seems that Crichton, along with Grisham are paying more attention to the potential dollar signs at the end of their movie credits rather than producing a novel that lives up to their previous, and stellar work.
Is the review positive or negative?
