4.0 out of 5 stars Could've Been Better, July 24, 2000

This review is from: The Terminal Man, The Andromeda Strain, Congo (Boxed Set) (Paperback)

Obviously, this is a collection of three MC books, so you know you are getting three good books. BUT, they are not his three best books. The Andromeda Strain is great, one of his best. The Terminal Man is good, but sub-par for him. Congo is a classic thriller but not one of his absolute best either. These are three good books, yes, but there are better Crichton collections available. Get them instead.

By the way, if you want to read the best of Crichton's works then read (in this order): Disclosure, Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Sphere, Timeline, The Andromeda Strain, and The Great Train Robbery.

The Andromeda Strain was a good book, but not one of his best. I didn't like it, but a lot of people did. This book didn't keep me interested in the least bit, except for the part about the labs below ground, and the guy racing to close the door before he passed out. I have read better of his books.
