Disclosure: A Novel

Review:When I read words from Michael Crichton, I can visualize them all. I imagine visually the entire story. His stories are technical and flowing. This book is highly recommended. I won't bother to tell you about the book because you should read without knowing to make it more exciting. This book is for techincal thinkers who can visualize. Read more

The Terminal Man
The Terminal Man

Review:I have been an avid fan of Crichton's for a long time and decided to peruse his older material. Terminal man was written in 1972 and Crichton's writing skill has come a long way since then. Well, perhaps the audience is much different from that of the 1970's. I couldn't finish this one. Characters were not engaging, a majority of the book was spent on describing the technology, so very little plot actually occurs until the end, at which point, I no longer cared. Would not recommend to those... Read more

Dragon Teeth: A Novel
Dragon Teeth: A Novel

Review:I was suspicious when I heard a new Crichton book was coming out. However, I loved it and it absolutely felt like reading another classic by him. I loved it and would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Well researched and an absolute page turner (I'm writing this at 2 AM because I couldn't put it down!). Read more

Review:Don't let the movie fool you! This is a fabulous book full of adventure and love. Amy, the giant gorilla, is adorable. And the trip that the characters take into the Lost City of Zinj is awesome! You'll feel like you were really there. You fight the battles, you make the choices, you defend yourself, and then... well, I can't tell you everything that happens. But it's definetely worth a read, or two! Read more

Elite (Eagle Elite)

Review:It was ok to me the story took a little longer than expected to learn about each character history, which happened almost at the end of the book. By the time the book get good it was over, and the little preview I read for the next book don't really hold my interest, sorry didn't like it much. Read more

The Midnight Star (The Young Elites)

Review:This book was awesome. The series kept getting better and better as the story moved forward. I will say this was a much darker series than Legend was, but it was very very good and it just shows what a great author Marie is!! This story truly displayed how you should always look for the best in someone and never give up. It was heart breaking, but fantastic! I loved it and can't wait to see what Marie is up to next.

Elite: A Hunter novel
Elite: A Hunter novel

Review:Once again:

I expected richly developed characters with who I could relate, love and hate;

I expected the continuation of the already well developed story from the first book, Hunter, to continue with new plot developments, new twists, new characters, and a new appreciation for Ms. Lackey's incredible mind;

I expected the story's rapid fire pacing and at the end, the satisfaction of a story well ended with anticipation towards the next book in the series without the overused... Read more

50 Harbor Street (Cedar Cove)

Review:Just too many different characters. Tedious jumping from character to character. You just get into one story and have to go into a differnt one. But I just keep reading to find out what each one is going to do. Read more
