  Though the moment may lack the inherent gravitas of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s encounter with Abraham Lincoln, or even Elvis Presley’s private audience with Richard Nixon, surely history should reserve a special place for the day in 2005 when Michael Cr ... (read full critics)

  Bologna or prophecy?

  Not as gripping as most other Crichton novels and yet quite a page turner none the less, even if with some weak moments.

  Not as gripping as most other Crichton novels and yet quite a page turner none the less, even if with some weak moments. What is to me at the same time very interesting and VERY scary is that this man is the one who started talking about cloning (Jurassic Park) YEARS before Dolly the sheep and quite a number of time has been rather profetical in his books. So I guess it is up to you whether to read it just for fun thinking it's a bunch of bologna or also give it soe serious thinking.

  It took me a long while to finish this book which didn't unfold as excitingly or overwhelmingly as Michael Crichton’s earlier novels. And it doesn’t seem as finished. It’s full of fragmented storylines and too many characters in flat personalities which you can't even neither recognize them from one another nor remember what they’ve done in previous chapters.
  However, I still very much enjoyed Michael Crichton's preaching as usual. And it's fun and thrilling to read all those episodes about the possibilities of where the genetic engineering will eventually lead us to.
  It would be quite lonely being in this unethical real world without the company of Mr. Crichton. And I’m starting to miss him now.

  Usually a Crichton book is worth 5 stars to me. Not this one but still a good read.

  A brillian tale on genetics and ethics. Fast-paced and horrific, it gives some interesting insights regarding gene-patenting, gene-business and gene-profit.

  The story is too fragmented. There is not a group of "great plots" but small episodes. Probably this is good if you read it while commuting, but leaves the impression of an unfinished book.
