I had Natural Selection written down in the back of my Moleskin on my list of “might be good, look for it sometime” books that I collect from people and around the web. It was checked out for a long time at my library but I eventually snagged it and enjoyed the read.
It reminded me a bit of a Michael Crichton book in that it read in away that I imagined it as a movie a lot of the time. Also, it was spewing out enough science speak to make the basis of the plot seem not completely ridiculous.
I’d best describe it as Jaws meets Jurassic Park meets Deep Blue Sea in book form. The characters were pretty transparent, the plot was relatively obvious on the grand scheme, and the end was wrapped up way too fast, but on the whole I enjoyed the book.
