(  ) andyray | Nov 21, 2009 |  excellent reading, may be the most enjoyable book I've read. Sexual harassment in a business - hi tec industry. Merideth Johnson is a gold digger lying woman who tries to get Tom Sanders fired from his job. bushard | Nov 8, 2009 | I'm always in awe of Michael Crichton. His works are just so diverse. Dinosaurs, gorillas, spaceships, diseases, and this time female-on-male sexual harassment and computers. I liked this book much more than the movie version I saw many years ago. I always liked the story, but Demi Moore rubs me the wrong way (and that was even pre-Ashton Kutcher). Both the role reversal sexual harassment and the IT/virtual reality aspects are very much still relevant 15 years after the book being published. I was surprised at how good this book was after seeing the movie. (  ) JennSicu | Oct 26, 2009 | Even though this book came out over 15 years ago, the story line reads like it could have been just published. (Technical aspects of the main character's job in electronics manufacturing may be dated, but this is only the backdrop for the story, not the focus of the book, so it didn't matter) The story develops in such a way that you care about what happens to the main character and want to keep reading. ( ) LBM007 | Oct 6, 2009 | Well, I'm not remotely technically savvy, but I'm certain most of the techno-biz stuff in here was WAY outdated by the time I read this. I am hoping the sexual harassment angle is, as well. I had to time-warp myself back about 15 years, and then this book made a lot more sense. I'm sure that it was relevant at the time. I really detested the antagonist. Man, she could spin anything. (  ) nevusmom | Oct 24, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345391055, Mass Market Paperback)"Expertly crafted, ingenious and absorbing." The Philadelphia Inquirer.The #1 Bestseller by the author of "Jurassic Park." As he did in "Rising Sun," Crichton focuses on a topic as close as today's newspaper headlines: sexual harassment. Tom Sanders is an up-and-coming executive at the computer firm DigiCom. When his new boss turns out to be a woman who is both his former lover and a business rival, Sanders determines to be professional. But after a closed-door meeting, the woman accuses him of sexual harassment. It's her word against his, and suddenly Sanders finds himself caught in a nightmarish web of deceit in which he is branded as the villian. As he scrambles to save his career and his reputation, Sanders uncovers an electronic trail into DigiCom's secrets . . . and the cynical scheme devised to bring him down.
