BookLender review by John on 2012-04-19 22:35:00

The first 100 pages were brutal. The psychologist who chose the civilian crew could not have picked a bigger bunch of head cases if he had tried. I know Crichton did this to enable his plot but this guy was apparently totally professionally incompetent. And he emerges as the hero, yet. Add to this paragraph after paragraph of scientific lectures and its pretty bad. They all should have died.
