Crichton's big ticket
+ Nice early work of Crichton
I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I thought the movie was really good until I read the book... Wow! Crichton's writing style is amazing and addictive! Now, when I see the movie, I still think it's good, but it pales in comparison to the book.

Amazing Techno-Thriller
+ Time to Sleep? Nah.
Just my cup of tea! A mixture of science, history, and the underlying social ramifications - if time travel becomes a reality. No fluff, no extraneous drawn out descriptions, just right into the action. Crichton, with his medical and science background infuses a sense of reality into his stories. ...

This was like an airplane ride!
+ This is why you need to keep your seat belt fastened
+ A different M.C.
Reading this book, for me, was like riding on a commercial airplane.
You get on the plane, all excited. You hear about what's coming up in your city of destination. You strap yourself in. You're all fidgety with anticipation.
Then you wait. And wait. And wait.
You feel like getting off ...

I read this book after watching the movie. Usually the books are more enjoyable than the movie. In Disclosure, the movie is much more enjoyable. Don't get me wrong. The book is fun to read, too. Cold Eyes
