I fell in love with reading in high school, and Michael Crichton is one of the reasons why. After reading Andromeda Strain and The Terminal Man, I was hooked. I've read almost all of his books, and Pirate Latitudes was my least favorite. Knowing that this was his last novel, I was greatly disappointed.

This one is very different from his other books. I missed the scientific/politcal background that so many of his other novels have. I did, though, really like that the story was about pirates, but I thought the story was slow-moving. There were scenes of intense action, and then there were looong sections that were just boring. And, I didn't really care about any of the characters.

But, no matter. Crichton was a great writer and this book will not affect my love for his other books.
