Talking about Michael Crichton, I just finished reading a similar science thriller, Fragments, by Warren Fahy. I would not recommend this to anyone here. Scientists discovered an island which had been separated from other parts of the earth for millions of years. Evolution of creatures there went in a different road. Sounds like Crichton? More or less. But this writer is quite amateurish. He just can't handle an idea which could really shine at Crichton's hands.
Still I finished it. It's a shame. Sometimes we just can't control ourselves and have to go through something. But that's not the feeling after I finish Dan Brown's works, which give nothing but satisfaction.
