Fast-moving and fun
Enjoyable
Patterson's skill as a storyteller is evident
An electrifying thriller
An astonishing story
Flat-out incredible. Buckle up. This is heart-pounding storytelling at its finest. I dare you to try and put this amazing book down. It's Crichton-smart, Patterson-paced, incredibly cinematic and it just feels like a giant summer movie. Two of the bestselling storytellers of all time have come together to deliver a hugely entertaining techno-thriller adventure story (T.J. Newman)
Eruption features Michael Crichton's stunning knowledge of science, scientific speculation and edge-of-your-seat storytelling and Patterson's remarkable gifts for suspense and relentless pacing. The once-in-a-lifetime combination of Michael Crichton and James Patterson results is one of the most entertaining novels I've read in years. You will be absolutely riveted as you turn every page (Adrian McKinty)

More Patterson than Chrichton but extremely enjoyable. The voiceover was great as well. Well researched and captivating.

Action all the way with a lot of research

Just finished this and it is absolute trash. What a complete waste of a credit! The book is full of plot holes big enough for one of those velociraptors to fall through, and the supposed experts literally do nothing but run around everywhere without getting anything done.
The short, choppy sentences and terrible dialogues aside, the chapter lengths almost made it feel like a screenplay where the scenes are marked as chapters. This book was NOTHING like what Crichton would have written. Sherri Crichton possibly took some research and a loose plot from Crichton and passed it off to this hack-job Patterson to write. The ending was the worst. “It was lava that saved the world”…vomit!
And the narration is just as bad. The guy says “nukilar” for nuclear for god’s sake. Bad pronunciation, bad pauses, bad intonation. He took away the little suspense Patterson had managed to inject in what’s overall a total mess. Crichton must be rolling in his grave.

Shockingly silly plot and very poorly narrated - this audiobook is a huge waste of time.
