As much as I love Michael Crichton's earlier works, I couldn't help feeling disappointed. He would rather inject his own agenda about global warning than to write an original story that was captivating. His own idea of climate change, making those characters that has the belief about global warming as either corky, funny or just naive in his writing.
It's a controversial topic, but cant help but feel that he tried really hard to prove his point that global warming was an exaggeration that was scientifically incorrect. People who believed otherwise would not find it entertaining.
Author did an extensive reach for 3 years and concluded his point of view to a point whether the argument covered more than half the book in a plot so paper-thin that the only excitement only took place last half of the book. In the end, it felt like studying an argumentative essay or research. I would rather it not to spoil reader's joy of reading with self agenda. It's a big no-no.
