Harry has a problem. Ever since getting in a car accident, he's suffered from "thought ... more
seizures", violent fits in which he attacks other people. He used to be an artificial intelligence researcher, which may explain why he targets anyone who either works on machines or who acts like a machine--mechanics, gas-station attendants, prostitutes, exotic dancers. But there's hope: He can become part machine himself, undergoing "Stage 3", an experimental procedure implanting 40 electrodes deep in the pleasure centres of his brain. The surgery is successful and blissful pulses of electricity short- circuit Harry's seizures. That is, until Harry figures out how to overload himself with the satisfying jolts and escapes on a murderous rampage. One of Crichton's earliest, playing ably on 70s' fears of computers and mind-control. --Paul Hughes, Amazon.com

The book is good, but takes a while to get into and a while to get going. It is also one of those books that is good, even though you can't really say why. It is just good, but not everyone will like it. The technology will put some off, and the killing spree as well!! It is a typical Crichton, with all the techno- scare mongering, but is not one of his best. Still a damn good book tho!
Advantages: Great,fast,suspencful,shoking and realestic Disadvantages: none
...found that to start with the book started alittle slow, but once all the charaters were introduced. the book started to gain speed and i was taken on a fast flowing, action packed ride. when i couldn't predict the end i like can do for most books and movie i read, it made me want to read more and more.
The story is very realistic and belivable.
this is a great book
