I get the book from Popular. Since member got 20% for the monthly new release book. NEXT is just another MC typical story. Mix with alot of Info. I think my favorite MC book so far is... Hard to decide. |

It makes the romance between Andre and Claire more believable as they have more interaction and sparks between them. Of course, the novel has more explanations about the multiverse concept which just cannot be translated onto the big screen. Speaking of which, does anyone notice that Crichton's works always have crappy, rushed endings? It's like the whole story was built up to a climax and suddenly it just ends abruptly. The novel version of Jurassic Park had such as lousy ending (WTF raptor nest and migration?), and so did Prey which metamorphosed from bio-robotic scifi into a B-grade Hollywood kill'em all finale. Andromeda's Strain's ending was very unexpected too and I feel that the excuse that the microbe has mutated into a non-virulent form seems really sleazy for all the suspense it had been building up. |

I'm more of a graphic reader.... Well, what the hell's that? LoL... Graphic readers are people that reads a book and quickly changes each scene into pictures in their head. So it makes reading so damn fun, coz its like watching a movie inside ur head... cool eh? This post has been edited by nicholaswinters87: Mar 31 2008, 11:23 AM |
