What's Next - Blame it on the gene ?

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Doesn't have a good fictional structure, but definitely informative for people interested in biotech and gene research.
Review: Blonde's will be extinct in 200 years!

A talking ape discovered in the forests of Sumatra!!

30+ and unemployed, taking drugs? No problem, a healthy dose of the Maturity Gene will set everything to rights !!

When it comes to genetic research, I wonder what will happen Next

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Next uses fictionalized accounts to explore the hopes and perils of genetic engineering. The book is interesting, but a bit difficult to read.
Review: Genetic engineering holds many promises for curing diseases and correcting genetic defects in people. It's not surprising that many see genetic research as a "magic bullet" that will alleviate suffering and even correct undesirable behavioral...

What's in a Gene? Supposedly a lot!!

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you are Crichton fan, then you would love the book. If not, you would still enjoy the subject and storyline.
Review: Introduction
I am big fan of Michael Crichton and the plots that he generally conjures. His story telling though usually leaves a lot to be desired. So, when I heard that a movie by the name of Next is coming, I assumed that it was a movie...

Trans-genetic chimp and bird provide characterization

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2007
The Bottom Line: Issues covered are interesting; however, too many plots that don't tie together. Satire in the book comes off as off topic.
Review: In addition to being entertaining, Michael Crichton s novels are based on scientific fact which makes their relevance greater than the literary merit. Although he will not go down in history as a literary writer, the timeliness of his books may. He...

Pass on Michael Crichton's Next

Date of Review:  Jan 16, 2007
The Bottom Line: For die-hard fans only, or genetics buffs.
Review: Author Michael Crichton likes to research various topics and then present his findings in the form of a story. For example, Rising Sun was a murder mystery filled with information about the business practices Japanese automotive companies. His...

Not my favorite Crichton book.....

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2007
Review: I did enjoy this book. I love how Crichton presents ideas to topics I would otherwise know nothing about. I dont know much about biotech but this book provided me with a great overall idea of what is out there and what is going on. I am not going to...

Really a letdown

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: Not a very good book - certainly not Crichton caliber. Long, tedious and with no payoff at the end.
Review: THE PLOT:
The premise of the story is that the US government provides billions of dollars in funding to research facilities who are then "in bed" with wealthy corporations. The relationships are a relatively transparent warning from Crichton...

I just do not appreciate being spoon fed an idea, message, or moral

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: Crichton puts the "message" before the story, and the story suffers mightily.
Review: Michael Crichton is an author whose meticulous research on his subject matter and readability has made him one of my favorite pop authors. His work will most likely never win a Pulitzer, but continues to be literature that appeals to many readers...

Next Is Last. Crichton's Last Living Novel.

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2009
The Bottom Line: I would recommend Next as an interesting book based on moral, medical and money issues that actually exist.
Review: Michael Crichton drew his last breath on November 4, 2008. He left a body of work that speaks for itself. Crichton's many science-based novels include hits like The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park and Sphere, which were among over a dozen novels...
