December 2004 – Hardback. I saw this at Costco and was excited to see a new Crichton novel. The format is a little choppy and hard to et into at first (broken into short segments by time and location) but I ended up reading more than 150 pages on the flights home from Mexico. Unfortunately I haven’t picked it up since. I’m having trouble reading “paper” books lately. I can’t seem to sit still and focus that long. I like multi-tasking…
