I really like all of Crichton's books... except this one. There is just too much long winded preachy dialogue ... which gets annoying and also makes the dialogue unrealistic. He hammers his points again and again so often I lost interest, got fed up and skimmed over the multiple pages of speeches.
A very disappointing book.
