Just calling it what it is, chips for the brain. Nothing wrong with chips every once in a while but not everyday and honestly, what did you learn from that book that you can apply to the real world? The book made you no smarter than watching an episode of ER or Grey's Anatomy. Learning the fine art of juggling murder, sex and medicine, while alluring is not knowledge you can take to the bank. And I would disagree with your Dostoevsky point. Dostoevsky has been around much longer than Michael Crichton so just by sheer centuries Dostoevsky trumps Crichton any day. And I would stake a large amount of money on the fact that Dostoevsky will continue to entertain and elucidate long after Crichton. 313302@blogcritics.org Tue, 31 Jan 2006 11:06:48 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/01/11/205359.php#comment-311992 I read "Adrenaline" and relished it. Your review amused me greatly. It seemed to me that you enjoyed the book but feel a little bit guilty about that enjoyment. Don't feel guilty! :) "Adrenaline" was true entertainment in that it diverted readers from their own lives and dropped them into the stimulating world of Mercy Hospital with all its attendant commotion and turmoil. To continue your television comparison; there's a commercial with the tagline, "Want to get away?". "Adrenaline" was a great getaway. I even felt a little bit smarter after I read it since the story was told from the anesthesiologist's perspective. I was engaged and educated at the same time. "Crime and Punishment" it was not, but far more people enjoy Michael Crichton's "ER" than Dostoevski's works. 311992@blogcritics.org Sat, 28 Jan 2006 11:05:14 EST
