It's early Michael Crichton but for me it's still really good.  As with all Crichtons, hard to put down.

Not as great as Chrichton's other stuff.  I really don't like how he assumes that everyone knows everything about medical terminology and abbreviations, but it was still an entertaining and exciting read.

Took a few chapters before I got into it (not Dean Koontz book, that's for sure) but once I did it turned out to be pretty good.

Pretty fast paced. The twist at the ended was stupid. But a good book to check out if you have some time on your hands.

This was an OK book...spent alot of time focusing on details in the middle but then just kind of seemed like he wrapped it up in a hurry. The Ending didnt make much sense in relation to the rest of the book. seemed like he just got tired of writing. all in all an OK book but I expected it to be better.

This is one of Michael Crichton's earliest work.  For those who have read his novels, you will be amazed at the amount of research he does for fiction books. This book shows his roots.  MEDICINE.   This is a mystery case in a hospital in its simplest form.  If you want to do research on Mr. Crichton, this is one of the earliest works I highly recommend.
