Really enjoyed this- crichton always weaves a great story and keeping me entertained on a 3 hr flight with obnoxious kids behind me is definitely a plus!

I don’t know how well this has aged in the era of Weinstein and me too. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, I just don’t think it happens with the frequency I was inferring Crichton proposed (something along the lines of 50/50).
That being said- I read it in three days - it was entertaining and fast paced and sort of just what I needed. It entertained me. That’s all I really needed.
Not my favorite of Crichton’s but not the worst.

Gripping, engrossing and hard to put down. I was expecting a more dramatic end but the author's style of narration was delightful. His research of the software industry is immense. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!

REVIEW: I didn't buy the many plot-convenient memory lapses by the protagonist... but otherwise a good corporate shenanigans/sexual harrassment tale.
VERDICT: 3 to 4 stars, if you don't mind reading about dated technology (CD-ROMs are the future, ha ha).
