1 is too high of a rating for this horrible book. Oh sure, I have read bad books before but this was even worse. Every page was filled with no thought what so ever. What could Michael Crichton of been thinking when he wrote this? I have noticed that some people have given this book a 9 or a 10. I don't know what those people could of been thinking because this book is so bad that a negative number is what it should get. If you have not read this book yet, please take my advice and don't waste your money or even a trip to the library.
