The short chapters with an exciting hook at the conclusion of each, made it impossible to put down! Having read all of Crichton’s previous books I knew I’d be in for a roller coaster ride and this did not disappoint. The best thing is knowing just how much research went into the writing of this “fictional” story. Now I need to go do my own research to confirm just how much was real?!?! I highly recommend this work to EVERYONE. It will pull you in from the very first page and not let you go...even after you finish the story.
