" I listened to this on a road trip to the Keys and the story line was too long and drawn out with much of the same drama. After several hours of listening I was done but continued to listen as I was on the road. "

" The story is primitive, boring, and full of scientific blunders. Obviously, it was not written by Crichton. Brick's narration is as always fabulous. "
