I have read and watched many psychological thrillers, but to say the truth few were as good as this book of Michael Crichton.This is a magnificent tale, at core psychology but beautifully surrounded by our brilliant science which gives it both the names; A Epic Psychological Thriller and A Epic Science Fiction Book.Psychology has been always a underatted and background topic. Nobody seems to have understood the value and importance of it. But in here Michael Crichton, again as usual, makes us realize the strength of psychology, makes us realize ourselves.This book talks about the most important thing about us, our mind. How we may have gone too far by not restraining our thoughts. It depicts very nicely what can be the consequence and to what extent can a unrestrained thought go, how it can literally destroy us. This book talks very nicely where our mortal enemy lurks. Many people think somebody else is somebody's enemy. But no, the very person is the very person's deadliest enemy. This book talks about our unconscious, our most powerful weapon, which can be both pointed towards others or us...I personally believe this book is one of Michael's best books. And I really fail to understand why this book is underatted. I see the liking percentage and goodread scores in google and am really shocked. How can this book be any less than 96 percent in liking. I really fail to comprehend how this kind of books are rejected over silly fantasy and mythological thrillers. I really fail to see how this book is not liked by the majority of this world. Does the book contain flaw? Is this book unrealistic? Is this book unscientific? Some of the reasons can be valid and this book at parts maybe a bit whimsical, but again we should understand what message Crichton wanted to convey. What he wanted us to realize. About mind. Our greatest strength, our guardian angel, yet our greatest weakness, our demon.The delivery relating this book was unsatisfactory and so was the condition of the book. The book seemed quite old, and torn in some pages. And I would request Amazon to take a bit more care about the condition of their products.

Twist after twist.at sometime you will start to think about what is this story about ,alines?time Tavel.if you wanna know buy it and start reading it

The first half of the book is much better than the second half. Lot of the scientific stuff seems imaginary, but it’s a great thriller.

Gud book

This thriller is really thrilling.

Amazing book. Hats off to the genius Michael Crichton. Must read for a deep insight into the ways and designs of the mind.Not to mention the amazing delivery of the book by amazon.

It is good however it dragged a bit towards climax.

This book is wonderful....Must read before you die.......This book is awesome!!!I LOVE IT !!!!

I read the book originally before I watched the film. Then I got confused. Second reading was much betterAnd now I understand what happened. If you have only seen the film then you have missed out. Like most of the film adaptations of Michael Critchons books they miss a lot of the story out. I'm not saying the films were bad just that the books are much better.

I've never read anything by Michael Crichton before, and this isn't usually my sort of thing. However it's been a long time since I was so gripped by a book. I found it very exciting, thought provoking and actually quite well written. In the last few chapters I was so gripped I literally lost track of time. I'm now sorry that my rollercoaster ride is over. I'm looking forward to reading something else by this author.

One of my favourite authors. The movie was recommended to me by a friend so I thought I'd read the book again before watching. As is always the case the book is much better! I love Crichton's style of writing, his books always have a great flow.

Amazing read with some super tense and surpenseful moments. Really enjoyed this book and would recommend. Great use of mind games and twists overall a enjoyable read

This is my first ever Michael Crichton book ever and I must admit, its different from the books I usually pick up which is Young Adult. However with that being said I'm so glad I gave this book a chance! It has a wonderfully unique set of characters that I love so much! The plot was amazing but to be honest, it's the characters that kept me wanting to know more. I can definitely see myself rereading this in the future!
