Normally I roll my eyes at the reviews of Michiko Kakutani. She seems to take great pleasure in not enjoying books. Obviously she is entitled to her opinon, but now her opinion seems ‘worth’ more in certain circles. Anyway, I am happy that she trashes the new Michael Crichton today. This is a book that deserves the Kakutani treatment. Granted I have not read the book, but it sounds like nothing more than an barely disguised rant against environmentalists. It’s nice to see a trashy novel get a trashy treatment.
