A review by chelzkaye
Travels by Michael Crichton

3.0

I’m not sure how to review this book... the first part about his days in medical school was interesting to me. Most of the stories after that made him seem like a person I don’t really desire ever meeting. On the other hand, as someone who benefits greatly from meditation, I appreciated his stories about his retreats and how meditation changed him.

I appreciate him being so open about his reality and choosing not to sugar-coat anything or paint himself in a more appealing light. It takes courage to be so raw and honest. Still, I’m unsure as to whether I like him as a person.

This book is both incredibly insightful and incredibly entitled and shallow at times... I couldn’t wait to finish it but I also enjoyed (almost) every second of it.
