Micro by Michael Crichton
My rating:

add to my books
"Honey I Shrunk the Kid" meets "Jurassic Park." Fun and adventurous, but as others have noted, fairly sloppily written. Interchangeable characters and a straightforward plot. An undemanding airplane/beach book, but sadly little more.

Carver tells a good story - though in many ways, keeps telling the same good story over and over again, in this collection. Taken in small doses, it is a fine read, but the repetition of theme and content proves, in longer sittings, somewhat difficul...more

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Really wanted to like this book, given its pedigree. Enjoyed parts, wasn't bothered by the distinctive voice and style. Ultimately, though, it felt like a chore to get through.
