  • One has to suspend one's belief when reading any Crichton novel, really, but nanoparticles designed to take over the world? No, sorry, I can't take it anymore. A friend of mine calls this "the worst book ever written." It's definitely one of the worst I've ever read.

    Very interesting. This is one of the first Crichton books I've read where the entire novel is told from first-person perspective. Love the book, still.
