I loved the idea of this book - what are the implications of the rapid-fire genetic discoveries that are currently happening? What will the future look like?

However, for about 2/3 of the sheer number of storylines made the book difficult to follow. It seemed like Crichton would think of something that could possibly be related to advances in genetics, and put it into the story. The book could have used a stronger editor.

Overall, though, I enjoyed it, and it made me think about the extremes that could happen in the near future
