3.0 out of 5 stars They're All Out to Get You, March 29, 1998
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Excellent Novels, July 24, 2000
This omnibus contains two excellent and controversial masterpieces of suspense. Rising Sun is a great crime mystery, and also shines light on the business tactics of the Japanese, albeit with a bit of paranoia. It may seem ironic now, since the Japanese economy is NOT what it used to be, but it is an interesting footnote and a very good novel nonetheless. In his next book, 1994's Disclosure, Crichton continues his habit of writing about the issues of the day, not some time in the future (something he has always done). It is the famous and controversial story of a man who gets sexually harrassed by a woman. Good book, his best, in my opinion. Get this excellent collection if you haven't already read these two books.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book worth second or third reading, March 24, 1998
This book was both interesting and informative. It reffers to a period in time when there was great concern over the rising industrial power of Japan and their business practices. A very readable and worthwhile book.

_Rising Sun_ is an amazing tale of intrigue, politics, and murder. It tells of Japanese and American socio-economic practices, and how they (in this case) fatally interact... Read more
