Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've seen a few reviews on here that imply that the reader "outgrew" the writer and other ridiculous statements; this book clearly had a minimal ratio of Crichton's work compared to Mr. Preston and who knows how many countless editors along the way. This simply isn't a Crichton book. Crichton's writing was at once detailed and complex, but able to keep the reader flowing through the concepts regardless of how difficult the topical material could be; this book suffers immeasurably from nothing more than either entry-level writing or horrendous editing. The book reads much like this. The book reads like a bad book. And the book starts most of the sentences with And or But or Then. Then the book stops the plot to explain that a character is in the book because of their Passion for Robots. And for Technology. And they are not a nice character. And they did some very bad things. Then they killed someone. But we can't say who. Not yet but we will. It doesn't read like a children's book, it reads like it was written by a child. If I could be at all compassionate, I could speculate that much of the material is indeed Crichton's -- but a very early draft, when he was still sketching out the characters, the progress of the plot, the scenery and scenarios; constant sentence fragments and dangling participles are indicative of a rough draft. If this is the case, then micro is an even greater injustice to Crichton's body of work, as he clearly would not have exposed such coarse-hewn pages to the world before he had re-crafted them expertly.
