When I first started reading it, I found it silly and wasn't sure I could finish it. Humans being shrunk to half an inch tall and left in the Hawaiian jungle to survive, it sounded like a bad movie from the 80's. However, the book hooked me after a few chapters, even though it was still silly in places. I'm not sure how much of the novel was written by Michael Crichton before his death in 2008. Parts of the book seem rushed and unfinished. There is a lot of real science in the book, you can find out just about everything there is to know about insect life in Hawaii. I've never read Crichton before so I can't compare this to his earlier work, but I do want to read some of his other books now. If you're looking for a quick and fun read, this is your book.
