- Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Crichton writes superbly . . . the excitement rises with each page."
- Chicago Tribune
"Crichton's books [are] . . . hugely entertaining."
- New York Times Book Review
"(Crichton) is one of the most reliable purveyors of brain-engaged popular fiction at work today."
- Sunday Express (London)
"A terrific novelist. . . . He could make most readers lose sleep all night and call in sick the next day."
- San Francisco Chronicle
"Crichton delivers."
- USA Today
"Crichton knows how to craft a tale, one that keeps the reader turning the pages."
- Houston Chronicle
"Pirates Latitudes has the loot: Gore, sex, action.. A lusty, rollicking 17th century adventure.. History as entertainment.. Crichton has done his homework."
- Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
"Hilariously exciting.. Crichton has crossbred Johnny Depp and Daniel Craig to create the coolest, handsomest, daringest sea dog in the world. (Guys, if you don't want to be Charles Hunter, have your testosterone levels checked immediately.). If you're on the lookout for some light adventure this holiday season, thar she blows!"
- Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Offers unexpected turns and plenty of yo ho ho's."
- Richard Eisenberg, People (3 out of 4 stars)
"It's not an ironic pirate novel. It's not a pirate novel with a secret gimmick. It's simply an entertaining tale filled with crafty privateers, despicable villains, treasure hoards, double crosses and a sea monster. Go figure."
- Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle
"The plot sucks you in like the giant kraken monster that nearly sinks our hero's galleon."
- Benjamin Svetsky, Entertainment Weekly
"Characteristically riveting and marvelously improbable.. The action is nonstop.. Pirate Latitudes is great entertainment, the perfect book for plane, beach, bus or a long winter's funk in the auto-repair waiting room. The pages and minutes fly by. What distinguishes this book and gives it a particular savor is its feel for the sea and sailing, something you sense the author held in particular reverence."
- David Walton, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Crichton makes place and time come alive."
- Carol Iaciofano, Boston Globe
"Cinematic.. Crichton jumps from one spectacular adventure to another without pause."
- Associated Press
"And so we come to the close of a spectacularly successful writing career.. What he wrote - escapist fiction, with a cunning and critical eye to the world around us, and to the worlds beyond - he wrote very well, indeed."
- Sam Shapiro, Charlotte Observer
"Nobody can say the Crichton method doesn't work, as entertainment if not literature. I'll bet our grandchildren will download his books, or have them implanted directly into their frontal lobes."
- Chris Tucker, Dallas Morning News
"Provides the excitement and suspense we have come to expect from his best-selling novels.. With his sharp-witted, concise writing, Michael Crichton has given us an adventure that keeps its allure until the very last page.. Pirate Latitudes is a noble last gift that this cherished author has given to his loyal fans."
- Karin Greenberg, Woodbury Magazine
"A master."
- Los Angeles Times
