Summary: Left Me Hungry....For More Details!
Review: All in all, the book left me hungry for more details and deeper relations to the characters, a climax that was suspended or lengthened would have been nice, and an ending that didn't leave you feeling empty would have been much appreciated. Compared to Crichton's other works, this was a failed attempt to win millions of fans, but surely one that left you thinking. Instead of mesmerizing you chapter by chapter, he waits until you have completely finished the book, laid it down, and then he lingers in your head while you contemplate what just happened. If he wants you to remember this book, he should get five stars. If he wants you to like this book, two stars is the result!

Summary: What a plot !!
Review: This is absolutely happening! The plot will keep you glued to the last page. I've also learned a few things about contamination, isolation, sterilisation, etc. A must-read for all Crichton's fans. The movie was also a gripping classic. Enjoy....

Summary: OK...
Review: This book's a really good thriller...until you get to the end. It has a totally crazy ending to it and, in my opinion, needs a little bit of work. I really liked Disclosure better.

Summary: Hmmm....
Review: Well, the first 150 pages ruled, then it got dull. Mr. Chrichton seemed to forget what he was doing, and tried to "fill space". I actually wet myself in the first 100 pages it was so intense. But something was missing from the second half. I recomend it. But don't expect the most emmaculate of endings.

Summary: A Far Cry From His Best
Review: This has all the usual elements of an average Crichton thriller. It is similar in characters, construction and execution to its kin "Rising Sun" and "The Terminal Man". And yet while this novel tackles a more credible and realistic subject than either, the conclusion is so obviously half-baked it's laughable. I find it very hard to swallow that an entire team of microbiologists and other scientists would have overlooked such an obvious solution for so long. "The Andromeda Strain" contains all the expected Crichton ingredients for a bestseller, but, for me, it seems this time things didn't turn out just as well as they usually do.

Summary: Could have been better...
Review: Don't get me wrong.. The book was great, I didn't want to put it down, and it made me think. But, some of the parts were boring and were lagging on a bit (kind of like he was trying to take up space maybe). The ending was also pretty dissapointing, partially because it was somewhat predictable. But hey, buy the book, it will make you think twice about some things . . .

Summary: Very gripping, couldn't put it down.
Review: This book is one of my favorite book it is one of those books that you can't put down. I just didin't like some of the sections that the author just starts babling but it is still my favorite book.

Summary: #1 book of the century
Review: I am a microbiology major in college and to me this book hits home. It is so real it is scary what is out there unseen to the naked eye. The scary part of the book it that it happens almost ever day; we find more and more viruses and bacteria than ever before known. It makes you feel not so alone in the world anymore!
