Query: dissapointing

This is the first Crichton book I have read, and it may just be the last. The plotlines in this are so obvious from the beginning. Some of the tech stuff is fairly interesting, but there are so many holes in the plot that it ruins the entire book. Crichton needed to think some of his theories through a bit more before he put them in print. Although he tries to make a true represtentation of the past, he throws some fantasy in there with the seven foot insane giant and 'transcription' errors that don't make any sense.
