General: Next by Michael Crichton

Be afraid - be very afraid - the lawyers are out to get you!

Though Crichton can be paranoid and carry it across well, this one goes a bit far. Much talk of ownership of genes and cells and derived control, hung together by what is actually a pretty weak plot by his standards. If you're stuck in an airport with a choice of this and "101 best goals in 20th Century football: an analysis" it's probably a goer. If you've got a choice, however, I'd look for anything else.

Readable, probably worth the 99p I paid for it in Oxfam.
