I waited to read this one because I did not want Crichton's books to be over but I decided to read it and it was worth it. This is one of his best books. It was the exciting and thrilling adventure I hoped it would be.
A really great start to a series, really liked the premise of the story, and Niki and Joe as characters, the only thing that bugged me is there didn't seem to be a whole lot of chemistry between them as a couple.
I reread this story frequently as a girl. One of the most evocative and effectively descriptive books I’ve ever read. A wonderful story about a young girl who goes to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. Loved the side story that takes place in town away from her grandfather as well. I always craved cheese and bread as I read the story, and there was nothing more satisfying than curling up with Heidi and some cheese & bread. When young, I didn’t understand that the goat cheese described in the book was different from the cow’s milk cheese I ate. (Now that I’m a long term vegan, I would no longer crave any animal procured cheese, but I think I’d still enjoy the story.) A worthy children’s classic. The sequels: Heidi Grows Up and Heidi’s Children were written by a different author – the original author’s translator. I enjoyed them, but they were not as pleasurable to read as Heidi.
Exremely well written and the attention to detail was amazing - though while I feel that the story itself is greatly enhanced by the graphics, I felt that some of the details of plot were obscured by somewhat of a lack of detail in the imagery from time to time...
