I am a huge Michael Crichton fan already, and he did not disappoint me with this. Amy the gorilla stole the show for me, with her 'teenage antics' and bad language. I love how he created a series of ambitious, intelligent, skilled and yet highly flawed characters each trying to further their own agendas.
Another thing that will always be a selling point for me was the distinct lack of any sort of forced romance between the characters. It is such a relief sometimes when the characters actually focus on their mission without the need to clutter it up with weirdly intense and unhealthy whirlwind romances. The story is more than enough without it!
Overall this was a brilliant story, with a fascinating plot line steeped in science (although most of it is probably outdated now, and some of it is definitely questionable which Crichton himself was happy enough to point out at times). The narration was also top notch with everyone given their own clear voice (listened to on Audible read by Julia Whelan).
