This book inrtigued me from the beginning, having an interest in
science, technology, computers and of course nano-technology it was
sure to be something I enjoyed to read. I found this novel quite
creepy, it literally made my skin crawl and made me think about how
this could really happen in our lifetime. Not to mention this novel
is so fast paced my eyes couldn't move fast enough accross the page
to find out what was going to happen next.
Scientists are plunging further and further into
microtechonolgy/biology, stem cell research and this book is
probably not far from the truth. Michael Crichton wrote this in
such a way one finds it hard to actually put the book down, I
couldn't. I read it cover to cover in a short period of time and
babbled on about this book at the dinner table. Of course this came
highly recommended from my dad too, who after reading this decided
to go against buying a certain mattress. I personally identified
with the main character of the story, having been laid off from a
career position before and being a single parent in the past it is
no easy task. So dealing with the everyday domestic occurances
along with an absent spouse and even stranger interactions with old
collegues leads down a winding trail to where he discovers humans
are the hunted.... the prey of a very advanced and hungry
predator.... made by man.
