RISING SUN
Michael Crichton
Ballantine
$5.99 US, $6.99 Canada
"People deny reality". Rising Sun isn't reality..... or is it? From the
opening line "Business is War" the suspense builds. Set in today's
timeframe, we get a sneak peek at what goes on behind the scenes in big
business every day life.
Rising Sun is full of exacting details based on apparently hundreds of
hours of research by the author. With this research behind him, Michael
Crichton builds a successful suspense novel down to the last detail.
Aside from the main story theme, there runs a truly believable
storyline that certainly gave me a feeling of being threatened
personally. Murder, chase scenes, mystery, advanced technology items,
all keep this story moving at the fast pace we have come to expect from
Crichton. Never a dull moment and certainly no place to put this
nonstop novel down.
This book should become required reading in every American school. It
stands right beside or maybe even replaces Orwell's, "1984". Exciting,
fast paced book that will give you the feeling of being there. And you
may learn something in a totally enjoyable way.
My rating: (out of ten points) 10
