Thrilling, exciting, a great read. I don't know who did what between Crichton and Preston. I'd rank this book higher than many later Crichton works. The villain is just Bad and maybe the toy aeroplanes are too much but it's such a page turner, a silly concept - shrinking people - leading to a series of fantastic set pieces. Tremendous action and a decent sized cast of characters so they are always getting knocked off - by ants, birds, wasps. Many memorable encounters. I would make a fantastic film although an expensive one. I like how the group of scientists included a coward and a whiny guy who became hero.
Really liked it.
