I read this book on the recommendation of one of my colleagues, a lady, who was also my senior in college. When I told her that I had finished it, she invited me to her room in the evening to discuss it. I said: "Are you crazy? I am not entering your room without a witness!"Crichton had got to me, very badly...

Good book.Read the book and saw the movie fifteen years ago. It was nice to spend couple days with Sanders, happy with his personal life and work. Sexual harassment, office politics turns him inside out.

The first thing I can say about this book is that it is dated. At one point there are several paragraphs explaining what CD-ROM is and how it is the up and coming technology. Also, they are developing virtual reality that, while it has as far as I know, gotten as far as it is described in the book, is still not very mind blowing with where modern technology is.But, at the time, I know that this was cutting edge. So, when you read it you must try and read it with a mid-90s mindset. If you do that...

“Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.” ― Michael Crichton, DisclosureI would love to see, how this book would be received were it released today. As it was, it did cause a stir way back when it was first released. I thought it was a great book and the movie, while not AS good was pretty awesome as well.I happen to know that this sort of thing happens..harrassers can be either female or male. It is all about control and really does not have any...

Holy fuck is this some misogynistic hot garbage. How this viciously misogynistic drivel became a best seller and pop culture phenomenon is beyond me. This is arguably the single worst book I've ever hate-read, and I have read Dustin Diamond's memoir.

Provocative. Still relevant. Makes you think. Whom would you believe? Log in.

This started out with way too much technical mumbo-jumbo in the first 150 pages concerning a corporate merger. Then the pace picked up and went right to the heart of the plot. A legal thriller about a sexual harassment case. An interesting story that was well written and a page-turner. A good read after all.

I recommend it if you are looking for a quick read. It's about 400 pages and I read it in three days. The story is extremely complicated. The plot is so convoluted that I'm still not quite sure it all ties together. There are plot twists every few pages. In fact, there really is nothing but plot twists. Crichton does not allow plot threads to play out before there is another turn in the story. This might make the novel sound like hackery, but a confusing and meandering plot is necessary to the t...

"Power is neither male nor female."Ultimately I'm giving this one a three star rating for various reasons, but it was engrossing and harder to put down than most 3 star books. Crichton touches on the very real but often neglected and non-discussed issue of using sexual harassment as a weapon and political maneuver. Usually this subject is brought up because of the power being leaked out of the other end of the spectrum, producing victims, yet here he shows that certainly isn't always the case, e...

Jar of Death Pick #35Disclosure is a 1993 novel written by Michael Crichton who is best known for writing Jurassic Park one of my all time favorite movies(I haven't read the book...yet) about sexual harassment in the tech industry. Tom Sanders is an up and coming executive at a Seattle computer firm who expects to be made Vice President of his division but is shocked when his ex girlfriend Meredith Johnson gets the job instead. Despite being disappointed and a little angry he accepts it and agre...

Michael Crichton is an excellent author, he really knows a lot about his technology. A business executive, Tom Sanders who works for a computer firm is expecting to become the new director of his company. But things change when a female employee named Meredith Johnson gets promoted, and Meredith happens to be Tom's former lover. One night Tom goes into Meredith's office, she tries to sexually assault him.When word of it gets out, no one believes his story, and Meredith has everybody believing To...

The first time I saw the movie based on the book, it was fabulous. Normally i try to avoid books based on movies if I have already seen the movie. So i gave up many opportunities to buy this book. Finally I couldn't resist when I saw a bargain on this one and I bought it since it was almost 15 years since i watched the movie. I was not disappointed at all. The movie might have taken liberties with the plot subtly but it was not so obvious.The plot is about our protagonist who is sexually harasse...

Brilliant, marvellously brilliant. “The system did not screw you, the system revealed you.” Crichton once again showcased his writing prowess to me in a high-fuelled, exceptional piece of writing.

CD-ROMs! Small (aka, hilariously clunky) cell phones! Modems! Virtual reality! Sexual harassment lawsuits! And hey, what's this Internet thing?Yes, it's ripped right from the headlines... of the early 90s. Which is fine, that's when the book was written, but it's so funny how the book trying so hard to seem contemporary and topical makes it feel dated that much sooner. So it was fine, it kept me reading. But... I'm not sure it actually all came together in the end.(SPOILERS)OK, at the end, we fi...

I love this book. I love the thriller. The haunting game between the boss and her employee on sexual harassment case. I was young adult then when i read this book. And this book spoke to me about respect and greed. I also like the movie.

MINI-REVIEW DISCLOSURE investigates what it's like for a man to be sexually harassed but have no one believe him (i.e. instead the computer company sides with the woman). As things worsen, we get to see the man's working world constrict around him as all his friends turn away.Of course, this all leads to a bigger matter, typical of the Crichton novels, but we love it.A very good read.OVERALL GRADE: B plus

Micheal Crichton is an ingenious story teller with beautifully crafted plot that revolves around corporate environment in a high-tech company. The one thing about Mr. Crichton's books are his trademark use of technological advancement which he entwines perfectly in the design of his plot. This book is no different. But one would be skeptical thinking it will be all technological blabber. So wrong! The most pleasurable thing about reading the book is, it is articulate. All technology is explained...

Very good book. It's my first by Michael Crichton, and now I want to read more. It was one of this month's selections (did not win) for one of my book clubs. I could hardly put the book down, because I wanted to know what was going to happen!

An interesting readread it sometimes in 2001you won't regret paying for it.
