" This is the first Crichton book that I've read. He's got a very plain, clear style and knows how to tell a story. It's fun to read about the cutting edge technology there and how we've long since passed it. At the end of the book we discover that the book is based on an actual case, but I'd be interested to know how faithful it is to that case. I'm sure Crichton had to take some liberties for the sake of storytelling. The story moves along nicely, we like and dislike who we're supposed to, and although the resolution isn't perfect, it's not maddening either. "
