✧ Castell Coch ✧

Castell Coch is a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built above the village of Tongwynlais in South Wales.

In seinem Wissenschaftsthriller lässt Douglas Preston ausgestorbene Tiere wiederauferstehen. Das klingt nach einem Abklatsch von »Jurassic Park«, ist es aber nicht. Eine Rezension

Rising Sun, by Michael #Crichton (1992), makes me feel conflicted.
It's a very well written thriller, keeps you at the edge of your seat, and you get to learn a lot (as usual with Crichton). A bit uncomfortable in its attitude towards the Japanese, conflating outdated views about the culture with the anxiety people had at the time that Japan could take over America as a superpotency. Still recommended, though. Middle point between noir and cyberpunk, I feel.

Since my eyes are hurting from this infection, I listened to the end of the audio book I started during our recent flights: Eruption by Michael Crichton & James Patterson.

Mostly good, although the ending seemed a little rushed. Would still recommend it, if you like either author’s other works.

Just finished #Reading this… Fascinating historical novel by a great author #Dinosaurs #Crichton

Michael #Crichton ist gefühlt überall. Jetzt bei #Westworld, eben #Andromeda gelesen und sowieso bei #jurassicpark.

Habt ihr Tipps, welche Bücher von ihm sich lohnen?
