Solid 3. There was some fun and interesting action sequences, but the characters were poorly developed. It was clear this was an early, unpolished work. Overall, semi enjoyable, but unremarkable.
One of three posthumous Crichton books. The protagonist is flat and the dialogue bland. I think that the novel has not been fully developed.
A light, breezy and enjoyable read! While not up to the levels of complexity and richness of Mr. Crichton's best, it still is a fine example of the writer's sense of story and development of characters around plausible (and in this case, historical) themes.
Surprisingly good. I really like the postscripts by the author and his widow about the historical basic for the book and Crichton's interest.
História fluída e interessante, primeira que leio do autor. Recomendo bastante e vou procurar ler outras obras dele.
