Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes; is that why an adult human being resembles a chimp fetus? And should that worry us? There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction-is it worse than the disease? We live in a time of momentous scientific leaps; a time when it's possible to sell our eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars; test our spouses for genetic maladies and even frame someone for a genetic crime. We live in a time when one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, and an unsuspecting person and his family can be pursued cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes within their chromosomes?

Next challenges our sense of reality and notions of morality. Balancing th

Michael Crichton's Next - how about Never instead?

by millinocket , Mar 1, 2009

81 out of 81 people found this review helpful.

Pros: Genetic research is a fascinating topic

Cons: The book fails to capitalize on that fascinating topic

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is half monkey, half mongoose.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.

Review: Like most of the rest of the world, I don't understand the intricacies of high level genetic research. With Michael Crichton at the helm, however, I'm usually able to go with the flow. Even if the subject is completely foreign to me (I'm looking at...

When it comes to genetic research, I wonder what will happen Next

by trailhound , Feb 3, 2007

58 out of 58 people found this review helpful.

Pros: Interesting real-life topic. Entertaining stories and characters.

Cons: Multiple storylines hard to keep straight.

The Bottom Line: Next uses fictionalized accounts to explore the hopes and perils of genetic engineering. The book is interesting, but a bit difficult to read.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review: Genetic engineering holds many promises for curing diseases and correcting genetic defects in people. It's not surprising that many see genetic research as a "magic bullet" that will alleviate suffering and even correct undesirable behavioral...

by phungus , Jan 16, 2007

46 out of 46 people found this review helpful.

Pros: Interesting subject matter

Cons: Too many subplots

The Bottom Line: For die-hard fans only, or genetics buffs.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.

Review: Author Michael Crichton likes to research various topics and then present his findings in the form of a story. For example, Rising Sun was a murder mystery filled with information about the business practices Japanese automotive companies...
