Not a typical Chrichton book. Very disjointed jumble of stories about various aspects of genetic research and its effects on industry, law and individual rights to privacy. This is a fascinating subject, and as a nurse I was excitied to get this book. I have enjoyed Chrichton's other books.
Interesting in a series of articles/blogs perhaps, but not in a novelized form.
He has tried to weave together a number of storylines, but it just doesn't work.
I listened to half of the tapes, then didn't care to hear the rest.
Is it possible this was published posthumously in an unfinished form?
