A review by kandicez
Binary by Michael Crichton, John Lange
3.0
This book was obviously well researched just like all of Crichton's books. I always find that thrilling, especially when it's about something dangerous, like explosives and nerve gas in this title. The low stars are not for that, nor are they due to the pacing. This was a perfect title for Hard Case Crime, thrilling and told at breakneck speed. The low stars are for lack of depth.
Crichton isn't known for creating characters. It's the situation of his tales that really grab the reader. Often that's enough to make me overlook the lack of characterization, but here it simply wasn't. We don't get to know anyone in this book despite having access to a personality profile!
I would recommend this as an airplane or beach read, but that's about it.
