"Micro ~ intense!"
What a brilliant novel! Loved every minute of it. Can't wait for the movie. RIP Michael Crichton❤
"A fun read."
A fun read. Just waiting to be made into a movie.
Too bad Michael Crichton died, cause I would have loved a sequel, and I always loved his books.
"Striking Gold again"
Michael Crichton hits it home again with another well researched thriller. His attention to detail and forethought capture the imagination yet again.
"Micro sci do thriller"
Good detail and concept. Kept me listening all the way through. Enjoyed the narrator's voice.
"Not a good way for Mike to go out"
A more appropriate title would be, “Honey I Shrunk the graduate students”. Easily the worst book by Crichton. Not well researched, nonsensical premise, and downright lame. Perhaps he meant this to be a teen novel? Regardless, the story is painful, the premise is bad, and it could have been much better. I was expecting something like, “Prey” and I got Clifford’s Animal Sounds. Just horrible.....
"sad. just sad"
this is just an adult version of "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids"....just could not sit thru it.
"One note narrator"
Love the story, although the narrator was extremely monotone, which made listening to the story tiresome. It was hard to pay attention to the story or follow which character was speaking.
"I hope Crichten writes a sequel."
As a science major and avid nsture enthudist this book is right up my alley.
"It's clear M. Crichton is gone"
I think it must be very difficult to match an author to a deceased author of great stature.
The only thing wrong with Micro (at least the audiobook) is it seems way too shallow, like whoever tried to finish the novel was trying to write and match an actual Michael Crichton screenplay, instead of finish the story as a readable novel.
The worst inconsistency was that the lady murder co-conspirator first can't bear the thought of the helpless youth being murdered, yet becomes willing to drown them later, without remorse. Wierd.
No probably not.
Yes the narrator did a pretty good job.
Disappointment, frustration that Preston could not have delivered something more readable.
"It should have stayed unfinished."
Absolutely nothing. This book was doomed from the start.
It was highly recommended by a friend. My friend was wrong, oh so wrong.
Nothing
The narrator was good enough. He didn't have much to work with.
Every scene except when Peter, the leading character, was killed - LOVED THAT!!!
The story line is completely implausible. The bad guys have such incredible technology, but can't come up with a better way to kill someone than a cellphone activated device or to push a car into a ravine? Seriously, you're going with that? It just goes on and on and on with random "scientific" drool and amazing coincidences that allow them to survive or be killed as needed. Its a bad story from the start that just gets worse.
It should have stayed unfinished.
