Historia
In the spring of 1978, a young Haruki Murakami sat down at his kitchen table and began to write. The result: two remarkable short novels—Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball, 1973—that launched the career of one of the most acclaimed authors of our time. These powerful, at times surreal, works about two young men coming of age—the unnamed narrator and his friend the Rat—are stories of loneliness, obsession, and eroticism. They bear all the hallmarks of Murakami’s later books, and form the first two-thirds, with A Wild Sheep Chase, of the trilogy of the Rat.

Historia
Life on Shelnora Island seemed to be perfect for me. A tropical paradise, great food, and beautiful women at the local sorority . . . until I crossed paths with a mysterious murder and sightings of an honest-to-God werewolf! Now I'm surrounded by three beautiful women, all drawn into the mystery, and it turns out that my new dog is a smoking hot shapeshifter. Life's gotten crazy, but maybe, if we all work together, we'll find out who the real killer is. Could it be the curmudgeonly divemaster with a grudge? The sleazy resort owner drumming up sensationalism for tourist bucks?

The protagonist of Percival Everett's puckish new novel is a brilliant professor of mathematics who goes by Wala Kitu. (Wala, he explains, means "nothing" in Tagalog, and Kitu is Swahili for "nothing.") He is an expert on nothing. That is to say, he is an expert, and his area of study is nothing, and he does nothing about it.

Enjoyable early Crichton
This was definitely Michael Crichton. The scientific premises led to an interesting story. Character development was limited and some events weren't particularly likely, but overall the story was engaging and I finished the book in less than a day. This book makes me more likely to continue reading more of Crichton's early works.

Crichton writes another page turner
Michel Crichton is a master of suspense sci-fi, and this short but visceral questioning of values and power is phenomenal. First published in 1970, you can see in it a foreshadowing of stories such as Total Recall and Avitar and the writing that would later make Jurassic Park such a success. The primary character confronts ethical choices and consequences that may seem more visceral in today's world with its increased ecological and consumption concerns, financial imbalances, and many decisions for escapism than at the time of the writing. If you enjoyed his other books, you will probably like this one.

All of his favorite themes were already in place
Would you consider the audio edition of Drug of Choice to be better than the print version?
Well, it is if you want to read it on the go. But all of Crichton's books, including these John Lange ones, are page-turners in print. So I wouldn't say better. But the narration is good.
Would you recommend Drug of Choice to your friends? Why or why not?
I would certainly recommend it to Crichton fans. While it's definitely not the best of his John Lange novels, it's quite remarkable how steadfastly his later obsessions were already in place in 1969. You've got the rise of scientific corporations at the expense of science itself and ethics, the transfer of major research from Academic institutions to the private sector, scientists playing God for the sake of corporate greed, and even the use of resort/theme parks as the beneficiary of this science out of control. It's a fun little conspiracy thriller in its own right (albeit with an unsatisfying ending), but of most interest as a sort of blueprint for ideas the author would revisit again and again--especially in Jurassic Park.
What does Christopher Lane bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Lane is a good narrator and successfully creates different voices for different characters. He made some characters, like the artist who runs an all-night boat party, more memorable than they would have been on the page alone.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Sure. And it's short enough that you actually could.

It’s not a favorite
This book has a plausible story of use of a new drug, but the characters are not so real. It’s not as good as some of his other great stories. I had a hard time finishing it.

Anticipation
This was so good. It was a mystery I could not figure out. Satisfying ending.

Not as good as the other Lange novels.
Not as good as the other Lange novels. I would choose one of the others over this book, probably the least complete story of the Lange series.

If you must read all of MC’s books
Then like me you must read this book. It was written early in his writing career & you can tell. But it is still enjoyable. It is somewhat dated however.
