Don't get me wrong, it had its exciting moments, but the negatives outweigh the good. After I finished the book, I discovered that the manuscript was discovered after Crichton's death. When works are published posthumously, I always wonder whether that would have been the wish of the author. I seriously question that here. Crichton had some fantastic characters in Jurassic Park, with some amazing suspense and thrilling adventure. It feels like he didn't come close to accomplishing that with Pirate Latitudes.
