Lots of female characters. <most of them die> Unusual setting, sometimes far too dense psudeo-scientific explanation. Crichton does his homework, but let's be honest... the theories of relativity begin to dilute the story line.

I really enjoyed this book! The character dynamics are really good and I liked how they interacted with each other. That is to say however that the last part of the book is the weakest part, partially due to the way
Beth and Harry are handled and how the two end up interacting. I think in a worse/weaker book, the way they are handled would've grated on me too much. Especially with how Beth is handled toward the end which did feel like a disservice to her as a whole.
 
Despite that though its a fun read if you like scifi with horror!
