The Andromeda Evolution by Michael Crichton, Daniel H. Wilson
2.0
I like Daniel H. Wilson, so I was excited when I heard about his book as I've recently gotten into Crichton. But it just didn't work. Here are the reasons why:
- There was a notable shift in perspective. It began as a historical record using the documents and security footage to tell the story but nearer to the end, it became more traditional storytelling. I went from observing factual observation to internal feelings.
- The book didn't really seem to be about the Andromeda strain really. I would have liked to know about it's invasion rather than the human's manipulation of it.
-There were some annoying inconsistencies. Things were brought up as "click bait" that were never addressed again.
-Finally....I think it just got to be too much. It just became too layered and complicated.
All in all....this book just made me want to read Andy Weir.
