Reality can be intimidating

Another win for Crichton with this story based on a true event. You don't often hear about men being sexually harassed. And when you do, they are laughed at or accused of the crime itself. I saw Disclosure many years ago and the novel goes a lot more into the background of Meredith, making this read highly engaging and the sneaky nature of her character an unfortunate testament to the reality of humanity at its worst kind of self-centeredness. Crichton explores the many layers involved in Meredith's ruse, making this a read a reminder to be careful whom we let into our lives.
