I guess I really liked this one, b/c I was going to post it earlier, then decided I wanted ot read it again before I did.
I love all the Crichton books and this comes very close to his kind of writing, science and fiction.
It was a definite "I don't want to do housework b/c I HAVE to finish this book first" kind of read!

A very enjoyable book. While it has some scientific jargon (causing those who don't know much about geology and physics to reread a paragraph or two just to get an basic understanding)this book is one of the most entertaining I've read in a while. Of course, I may be biased because I've always loved the legend of Atlantis. I would recommend this book to any who like science and end of the world novels.

I can see this one on the big screen, but it'd be one huge CGI challenge. Needs a BIG stage. Surprisingly good book. The math and crypto dialog gets pretty involved and kinda fuzzy around the edges. But, it's got some good characters, well drawn. Quirky scientists...imagine that! By the end, you'll likely decide it was worth the read. Bogs down in a couple places, but as I said above, the BIGNESS of the last third of the book really does invite a screenplay.

This book rocked! It is a thick book and took me a few days to read it, but I really enjoyed it! I am really surprised that this book hasn't been turned into an action movie. well written, with neat ideas and it ties it all up in the end neatly.

I would call this asci-fi thriller. I really did not want to take time for anything except reading. Thoroughly enjoyed.
