![]() ![]() Hunter is more or less untouchable, which makes him impressive to watch, but also ultimately pretty boring.since you never really feel that he himself is in any existential peril. That scene alone, with its meticulous setup and escalating suspense, almost makes this worth a read. ![]() The final assault on Matanceros was easily the best part of the book. Had Crichton lived, maybe it would have gotten another revision, and maybe that revision would have made it into a readable story. It feels like a clean (in terms of grammar, spelling, etc), but very, very early draft. There's no real structure to the plot: major events erupt and fade away far too quickly, and minor events get dragged out for far too many pages. His editor and agent both claim that it's done, that this is the version Crichton intended to be published.but I highly doubt that. Apparently, it was found "finished" on Crichton's computer after his death, and published posthumously. ![]()
