ever dreamt of finding out what it's like to be among bugs, what it's like to be half an inch tall. this book will tell you that that dream would really be a nightmare. you can smell the pheromones or scents given off by insects and you can hear them as they blunder through the twigs and sticks that tower like trees around you. you have fear in your mind and your heart races because you know that being half and inch tall makes you bitesized for a bird, bat, centipede or spider. welcome to the microworld. with nanobots, robots and 'shrink rays' it takes you on a terrifying tip into the microworld. it gripped me from the first page. I couldn't put it down and ripped through it in just a few days. what more old you expect from michael crichton...
