...matinees during the fifties, and still shows up with welcome regularity on all those Million Dollars Movies. Nevertheless, the book is unbelievably suspenseful. Crichton is a master at keeping the reader one step ahead of his brilliant-but-sometimes-obtuse scientists. It is painful to watch their ignorance lag behind your own understanding; reading this book becomes one of the most cogent arguments for taking an Evelyn Wood course I've ever come across...

Behind Ginsberg's freaky fagade there has always been a core of pure humanism and of religion-in an almost planetary sense. In an era in which most people accept violence as the way life is, Ginsberg has managed to remain fervently gentle.
