Rising Sun

Ok book... The Japanese supremacy is at times repeated and done to death...

A clincher from Crichton.. Makes you think of the Japanese Tech and business.Is business really war?? wait till you finish off this one... A good one for those who have penchant for facts as well as fiction.

Both book and movie are great!!!

Lackluster ‘whodunit’ plot that gets a little preachy about Crichton’s own views on the Japanese—it plays a fine line between intriguing thoughts and inappropriate denouncements. However, Crichton’s affinity for the “car accident ploy,” that he uses effectively in State of Fear, started (ineffectively) here in this novel first. Ugh.

Its ok sort of..but not as good as Cricton's other work

Loved this book, too bad the movie was garbage.

Well researched as always - good mistery

Exciting pace, interesting plot that both serves as an entertaining thriller as well as Crichton's own view of a time when Japanese economic prowess was heavily encroaching and in some ways destroying American economic dominance in the global scale.

This is also one of my favorite books and my favorite Crichton. It's amazing how much research goes into his books.
