Es un libro divertido en general, con una idea muy buena pero que al tener tantos datos técnicos se pierde la tensión y por momentos se hace cuesta arriba la lectura, y el final es bastante flojo, muy deus ex machina.
Se entiende que al ser uno de sus primeros libros le falte pulir cosas, pero con ese argumento se podría haber hecho algo realmente grandioso.

A good read, definitely more about the tension than the resolution as some other readers have said. I'm glad I read it, and it was certainly unique and entertaining. I do think Crichton could have used a better editor, however--he spent about a quarter of the book describing the meticulous multi-step process the scientists used to decontaminate themselves. Satisfying, but I was still ready to move on halfway through it.

Fast-paced and realistic science fiction--I especially enjoyed the entire book seeming like a report.

The book has a lot of potential and build up, but fizzles out in the last 20 pages.
