oh man I was so disapointed in the book compared to the moive. I feel crichton has great ideas but is not a good writer. It is one of the few writers where I prefer the movies.
He wrote it as if it were a factual reconstruction of an actual crime. Long passages on things like rat baiting, penny hangs, tipping servants, and other Victoriana
I have not read that but I don’t read much now so I doubt I will get around to it. Top of my list is reading the wheel of time that jordan did not write to finish off the series.

There are always exceptions. Andromeda Strain was an excellent book.
You know I do recall that one not being bad. Rising son was maybe a little better book wise to.
The original Andromeda Strain is an excellent movie.
Try reading “The Great Train Robbery.”
