While I know that this book is really dated since it relies of the science of the past to make it work, but as someone who grew up loving Amy, I may have a stuffed version of her that, to be honest, has been my favorite stuffed animal forever, I can't get myself to give this less than four stars.

This is a surprisingly good book from Michael Crichton. He moves away from his typical threads of explicitly reinforcing the innate goodness of republican america and distrust of science to doing it through heavy-handed metaphor.

Note that a surprisingly good book from michael crichton only gets two stars.
