Crichton's next
I'm a big fan of Michael Crichton. Oftentimes, I can't even wait for the paperback edition to come out. His latest output, "Next" is no different. I raced through it in a day (would've been faster if not for work) and while the ending seems all-too tidied up and neat, I'm once again intrigued in the many questions the novel posed. Imagine your DNA being owned by a bio company. Think of inter-species breeding. Parrots thinking like humans. Monkeys behaving like humans. This is another one of Crichton's thrillers that meld the science and the half-fictions. Even to non-fans, it's a fast-paced, intriguing read. wonder what comes next...
