This was...horrible. I don't know that I can put into words how I feel about this book, though I've tried during rants to three different people about this...book.

The narration is great on this audiobook but I have a few complaints. 1. I know we need to know some of the basics about nano-technology but this seemed way too much. I've read Crichton before so I'm familiar with his way of teaching you a little, but maybe it was the subject matter I didn't care...
