Prey by Michael Crichton – High Tech Non-Thriller
I just finished listening to the audio book of Michael Crichton’s Prey. This is definitely one of those books I would not have finished had I needed to find time to sit and read it.
The premise of the book was good. It was the writing that really seemed stilted. The dialogue between characters just seemed too fabricated. The worst part was that the last part of the book was a monologue by the main character explaining all the loose ends that were left.
This book gets a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.
I’m curious to know what people may find a “good” genre for audio books. I’ve just written a sci-fi thriller called SECRET REVELATION. A mix between Total Recall and The Bourne Identity. I’m just not sure what would make a good audio book. You can check out my novel & movie website at http://www.secretrevelation.com
Thanks
