I read this book as soon as I could get a copy. Crichton is, in my opinion, a good writer. He puts together stories well, and this book is not different.

This one takes apart the environmental movement’s global warming lies and lays a big smack on Hollywood glitterati at the same time.

VariFrank has a review. An excerpt:

Lawyers always suffer at the hands of Michael Crichton, if you’ll remember the scene in Jurassic Park where “The Lawyer� while sitting in a toilet, is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

I remember the scene because the audience I was with, clapped.

You can make a movie or have a TV show about lawyers, it happens all the time. You can generate thousands of miles of footage about the evil “military industrial complex�, you can have all priests portrayed as pederasts, all cops as crooks and all ex-military types are Nutcase-Rambo-Time-Bombs, but you cannot under any circumstances make fun of “Hollywood Actors� as they go about making the world safe for us common people to live in.

Is this book worth the price? Yep! I zipped thru it at breakneck pace the first time, because every page left me wanting to find out what was happening two pages over. I’ll probably take it on a boat trip this spring, and take the time to savor it.
