"Coming soon to a cinema near you......."3
If you're after something profound and literary, this is probably not for you.
If, on the other hand, you're looking for something to while away the hours on a long train or 'plane journey, this is a highly enjoyable read for the Grisham/Crichton fan, providing an action-packed mix of cod scientific intrigue, mystery and suspense, with a dose of ethics and politics thrown in for good measure.
It may be cynical to suggest that this book has been written with one eye on the film market, but there are a number of setpieces which will lend themselves to spectacular production in that medium.

THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN LIVING DINOSAURS!5
I picked this book up thinking it would run in a similar vein to Jurrasic Park, I was however wrong and the book doesn't contain any living dinosaurs. That being said however I still found this book incredibly interesting and because I couldn't put it down I managed to read it in two days! I think this would be an ideal book for holidays or long trips as it moves quickly and keeps you interested.

Interesting ideas, good thriller.3
This was a quick and easy read, engaging but not engrossing, interesting concepts but not mind-boggling. I didn’t like the really short chapters, finding that somewhat annoying. Generally, I enjoyed the story and its characters and the sub-plot added interest and a desire to see how everything was connected. I was kept interested and wanting to find out how it comes out. The chase scene through the desert could be abbreviated (it really kept going and going and going-like the batteries), but I suppose helps to build suspense. Not a great book, but certainly something for a weekend read. Also recommended: Bruce Huntly, Fusion (this is new author and I highly recommend this one!); Dan Brown: The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point; John Grisham: The Broker; Michael Crichton: State of Fear.
