Honey, I shrunk the grad students! I was hesitant going into this, as I think that State of Fear completely destroyed my admiration for Crichton. This one got off to a rocky start. So, apparently this book was mostly finished before Crichton died (from cancer, or from a secret government micro...
Wow, a nice surprise. Crichton's last book that I read, Next, to me, was an absolute turd. I threw caution to the wind and gave this a try, as I have read a couple of Richard Preston books in the past and enjoyed them. The result of this combined effort produced an imaginative, tight, page-turning t...
I read this about a month ago, and only now have I realized that this needs a better review from me. For a Crichton (or half a Crichton) novel, this really has a low rating. At first I couldn't understand why, because this really has to be one of my favorite novels.After reading a lot of reviews, I ...
Interesting concept let down by shonky prose, flat cliched characters and a plot that often broke the suspension of disbelief. Some of the botany and insect science was interesting, but the awful, unlikeable characters had me cheering inside as each one was eaten or butchered by the natural world. F...
There should be a law against authors finishing up other authors' books. It never ends well.But I do not think Richard Preston did all that much damage to the novel. In fact, from the unfinished introduction by Michael Crichton at the beginning of the book, Crichton appears to be in his preachy mode...
Luego del fallecimiento de Crichton, la novela fue terminada por Richard Preston dando la sensación de solo haber escrito solo el final, resultando lamentablemente, en una novela demasiado corta. Aunque tiene mas de 400 páginas hay demasiados saltos en la historia, y tal vez lo que más sufren son lo...
3.5 stars out of 5.This book can be summed up in one gif -Disclaimer: A little suspension on disbelief is required by the reader to read Micro (or any other MC book, for that matter). Nanigen is a robotics company which recruits seven graduate students (each from a different field) as part of its re...
This book is the literary equivalent of those cheesy sci-fi thriller movies -- you know, the kind where a whole bunch of characters set off on an adventure and then one by one they die off until only one or two are left. And like those movies, Micro was entertaining, but it was a rather shallow read...
