The Terminal Man is very intense and entertaining! Very sad though. I really enjoyed the story from the doctors' perspectives. It's a great study of the arrogance of technology and medicine.

This is really dated but still a pretty cool Crichton technothriller.

The ending is so abrupt and that makes me sad, but what a classic Crichton story. Amazing plot, terrifying accuracy, and a thrilling ending.

I really wish Ross and Anders had a thing, but Crichton doesn’t do romance :(

This book is now 50 years old. It hasn't aged well, because of advances with technology.
