2.0étoiles sur 5 A MAP WITHOUT A TREASURE, Déc 22 2009
Par NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Pirate Latitudes (Hardcover)
This book is NOT what I will remember the late Michael Crichton by. He was an excellent writer, excelling in popularized science techno-thrillers but also fully capable of producing period dramas of high quality, such as The Great Train Robbery. Having read that gem recently, I can attest that PIRATE LATITUDES was either NOT written by Michael Crichton or was only a rough script - and was then polished and hastily packaged as a novel.

True, Michael Crichton's main focus had always been the story, often at the expense of his characters. However, the characters here are so crudely and halfheartedly developed that I could not find myself caring for any of them, including Cpt. Hunter, the main hero. The story does go from one cliffhanger to the next (in a James Rollins fashion) and it will keep you turning pages. Nevertheless, it is writing-an-action-novel-by-the-numbers: the story never managed to get a hold on me.

Where is Crichton's signature obsessive research that used to turn long-held misconceptions on their head? Where is his attention to obscure details and little-known scientific facts with big impact? Where is his ability to entertain and educate at the same time?
After the sad cases of Frank Herbert and Robert Ludlum, Crichton's heirs are attempting to exploit his fans as well. He did not deserve this.

Let this act of piracy hang from the yardarm.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A little gem of a read!, Nov. 27 2009

This review is from: Pirate Latitudes (Hardcover)
I have always been a big fan of Michael Crichton, and was sad to learn of his passing. I have read all of his books and have always found them to be page turners. His writing skills are probably not given the credit they are due because of the commercial fiction genres he worked. This pirate book set in 1665 Caribbean is probably not what most of his fans are used to reading from this author (though Crichton was no stranger to historical fiction, I still consider "The Great Train Robbery" his best Novel). The reader I taken to the far removed Port Royal, a lone British colony holding out against the mighty Spanish empire. The town is home to some unlikely and unsavory characters, a place of sin and vice, and a good place to call home if you are looking to steal some Spanish gold, the Brits don't mind Pirates as long as they are hunting Spanish Gold! There is danger and death a plenty but there is also a chance for a man to get rich if has the audacity and ruthlessness to back up his play. Captain Charles Hunter is just such a man and there a Spanish Galleon hiding in a nearby harbor while undergoing repairs. But the harbor is under heavy guard led by the ruthless Cazell hand picked by the King of Spain himself. Hunter gathers a ragtag crew of cutthroats to go after the Spanish galleon, supposedly os Spanish gold. This is a raucous and fun read that can see going to the big screen soon! I just hope there are a few more gems like this that Mr. Crichton has hidden away.... and for more great thrills in the modern day Carribean check out A Tourist in the Yucatan

This review is from: Pirate Latitudes (Hardcover)
Having enjoyed Michael Crichton's work for many years I looked forward to his latest release. I bought the fact that the completed manuscript had been found in his files after his death. Unfortunately this file was either in the garbage can or his high school memorabilia, as this book is so poorly written it is a shame. I would not recommend this book to anyone over the age of 15, although I would strongly recommend all his other works.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A good pirate tale despite some rough edges and a lack of polish.
Despite what the ad copy will tell you, this is not Crichton at his best. In fact, I can't help but wonder if the book wasn't actually finished and that the "complete" manuscript... Read more
