I think that Michael Crichton’s Andromeda is a story not very exciting or with much suspense but it is a book that could make reflect.

In fact I reflected very much about its contents both scientific and humanistic because this subject is quite contemporary, even if this book was written in the ‘50s.

In our time, in fact, with the numerous nuclear power stations, with bacteriological experiments, with the numerous space tours, the risk that a similar episode happens is very high.

About the style of the book, the narrative technique and the setting, I think that these are pretty good. Only a thing of the narrative technique in this book I dislike and this is that the narrator says us which is the result of something which is going to happen too many times. For example when a scientist  is going to do an experiment, the narrator says us the issue of this experiment and I don’t like it.

In conclusion, the book is good enough and another time the author, Michael Crichton, has built a fantastic story.
