I'm not a huge Crichton fan, but the difference between this book and "The Day After Tomorrow" is that Crichton actually researched the topic, and included footnotes for all the sceintific points he made.

If only he had remembered to include well-developed characters and plausible situations. I think the overall badness of the novel will obscure the important point he was trying to make.

Chrichton tends to leave loose ends untied and use the same plot repeatedly, but I enjoyed this book and think it better than most of the best sellers out there, the majority of which I can't stand. Which means most people will not be offended by its literary quality.
