Story
Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

I expected a better story

Worst book I have read in a long time.

The scientist was irrational, the solders lacked discipline, the men were always angry, and the women were beautiful but irrelevant. No one could stay on task or accomplish anything. The plot was outlandish but could have been entertaining if the actions stayed on the theme. I expected more from two famous authors.

There’s chaos in Hollywood at the end of the New Year’s Eve countdown.

Only minutes after midnight, Ballard is called to a scene where a hardworking auto shop owner has been fatally hit by a bullet in the middle of a crowded street party.

Stupid and misogynist.
Reviewed: 07-17-20
I liked the first book of this trilogy, Red Sparrow. It was a fresh take on a spy novel. The second book was just a rerun. This book was increasing implausible and dismissive of women as anything but sex objects. Sorry I spent the time.

Great sequel to Fiddler on the Roof
Reviewed: 11-19-18
If you liked Fiddler on the Roof, then this is a natural sequel. This is a well-written novel by an actress who played Hodel; it is the story of Hodel after she leaves on the train to find Perchik. The audio version is especially nice because at the end is a recording of a performance of excerpts and new songs written for this story.
