Search - Prey

The loss of Crichton can be understood by reading this book. I knew anything that I picked up of Crichton would be so thoroughly researched that I would have every question satisfied about the 'whys and hows' of the story. This book is a prime example of his unwavering dedication to the story itself.
And the human relationships in this story are complex and multi-layered, as is the fear Crichton wove in this book. He preyed upon natural, close fears we all have, and it is displayed in a thrilling read I literally stole moments just to be able to finish-- squinting my eyes until the sun set on our drive home for the holidays, whipping out my handy clipon light so as not to disturb my husband, and bringing it along, unapologetically, to the golf course while my father and husband helped prepare food for the tournament.
A good book has a way of doing that to ya. Crichton could write a helluva good book.

I got nothing done for a day and a half, the book was spellbinding and I couldn't put it down.

A rather sci=fi look at today's attempts to always be on the cutting edge of genetics and technology. Excellent book.

Great story...

This is a hilarious and wonderful book. I rarely laugh out loud, but this book tickled me. Crichton was a great story-teller.

I am a big fan of Michael Crichton's novels. This is another really good one. I didn't want to put it down. I really like the fact that he goes in depth to research the science behind all of his novels even if he uses it as a source for fiction. It really makes his novels seem like they could be possible. This one is about a company researching nano-technology using genetics that end up creating "smart" robots. They end up evolving just like any other creature. This put pulled me into it's world and I was so engrossed in the story that I had to keep reading it.
