Amanda's review
Rising Sun
by Michael Crichton
Rising Sun read like a good action movie - entertaining, but nothing earth-shattering. I was engaged cover to cover, but it was a little predictable.
In all fairness, though, I was reading it about 15 years to late. Character names like "Fast Eddy" and plots based on Japanese business tycoons and industrial spies probably seemed more edgy than cheesy back in the early 90s (published in '93).
I feel similarly about Dan Brown and Michael Crighton books. Simply good fun, sometimes thought-provoking.
