Michael Crichton wrote this book in 1969 under the name John Lange. It's easy to understand why - this book features alcoholism, drug use, gratuitous fighting and sex, chauvanism, and cruelty to animals. It was just tiresome - the best part was the snakes. I listened until the end, but I wish I had that time back for to listen to a better book.
