content: Since early about November of last year have been on a Crichton spree of sorts...and i can honestly say this is the worst Crichton novel i have read...the whole book is fairly boring...it is ALOT of scientific talk and not alot of action...but the ending is just not good at all...the ending left me wondering why i read that whole book...it is EXTREMELY anti-climactic...pretty much the only thing that kept this book out of the 1-star range for me was that i liked the idea...read if you want...i just dont like it
