The loss of Crichton can be understood by reading this book. I knew anything that I picked up of Crichton would be so thoroughly researched that I would have every question satisfied about the 'whys and hows' of the story. This book is a prime example of his unwavering dedication to the story itself.
And the human relationships in this story are complex and multi-layered, as is the fear Crichton wove in this book. He preyed upon natural, close fears we all have, and it is displayed in a thrilling read I literally stole moments just to be able to finish-- squinting my eyes until the sun set on our drive home for the holidays, whipping out my handy clipon light so as not to disturb my husband, and bringing it along, unapologetically, to the golf course while my father and husband helped prepare food for the tournament.
A good book has a way of doing that to ya. Crichton could write a helluva good book.
