Next, Not A Good Book
(Michael Crichton)
One of the latest books I have readen was NEXT by Michael Crichton. This book is sold as a novel, but the author's intentios was to write some kind of research-like book. In my opinion, althought a great research has been made before starting to write, the material is not used properly in the book. This book consists in three main stories involving different charcateres and sharing one main topic "Genetic manipulation". The stories are "almost" conected in the book. Nevertheless as I (as a reader) went thorught the book I did realized the stories never came to a common final. At the final of the book, when its reading was over, just one question remained in my head, "What really has happened trought this book?". The only answer I could give to myself was: NOTHING". This was a surpring conclusion as the book is plenty of good ideas. In my opinion all of the could have been used in order to build a fantastic novel, or at least to give this novel a good end. Thinking more carefully about the reading I noticed one trial in order to do this, two of the stories were connected in the final five pages. I have readen almos all books from this author, some in Spanish and some of them in English. Several of them are fantastic ones but I hve to say this is not the case. I want to finish my comment on the book asking Mr.Crichton to write better books. I think he is a wonderfull writter, but this time the book wasn't a good one. Julio
