This review is from: Michael Crichton: Two Complete Novels (Hardcover)

Michael Crichton's paranoia-driven novels play on the scare-of-the-day headlines that keep us all looking over our shoulders. Disclosure panders to the worst fears of innocent victims of ... harassment accusations. The trouble is, things like that do happen, so you can't resist reading to see how Crichton's characters handle these muddy situations. The characters themselves are flat and not memorable, but I find I have to find out how Crichton will deal with such politically delicate topics.

Rising Sun is a bit dated now that Japan is no longer the economic force it once was. Still, it wasn't long ago that Japanese interests seemed on the verge of buying up Hawaii and the West Coast and it could happen again. At least, that is what you'll think as you read Rising Sun. I started the book on a flight from San Francisco to San Diego. Midway through the flight, I looked around the plane and realized I couldn't understand any of the conversations or read the titles of the books and magazines my fellow passengers were reading. The flight was filled with Japanese tourists and businessmen. I could feel Michael Crichton's paranoia.

This review is from: Michael Crichton: Two Complete Novels (Hardcover)

The book came in timely manner and in new condition.

The problem is that I paid 20.00 and the re-seller left the receipt from another website for 6.00. ( both $ are without shipping )
Would have been way more professional if the receipt had been removed from under front cover from the true vendor- that's all. Would have spared the hard feelings.

I strongly advise that other sites are checked before using Amazon private sellers. I just hate feeling taken advantage of and yes, I did it to myself...
