Wordy Wednesdays--Book Review 5: Prey

I would not have normally chosen this book to read, but it was recommended as the next book in my book club. I can't say I'm glad to have read it either. Sci-fi is not really my thing. The storyline was pretty easy to follow though, but Crichton is pretty long-winded. As I writer, I value word economy, clarity, and concision, which is not present in this book. Was he being paid per word or something? I would've cut a lot of stuff out this book.

Bottom line: If you like stories of scientific experiments gone wrong written in painstaking detail, then this book is for you. Otherwise, skip it.

This month's book club book (my pick) was much better.
