From School Library JournalYA-Beautiful, bright, and talented Meredith Johnson arrives at Digital Communications Technology company to become the head of a division, a position that Tom Sanders thought was going to be his. Meredith, his former lover, invites him to her office after hours and attempts to seduce him. When he rejects her, she accuses him of sexual harassment. Tom hires Louise Fernandez to defend him and reverses the accusation to name Meredith as the aggressor. To this plot, Crichton adds computer-industry sabotage, corporate mergers, video-linkups, stock options, CD-ROM jargon, and even a trip on a virtual-reality simulator to help Tom save his reputation and career. YAs will love all the technology and the author's easy, readable style, but the graphic sex and obvious theme that harassment is power may make Disclosure a more suitable choice for public than for school libraries.Katherine Fitch, Lake Braddock Secondary School, Burke, VACopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.From Library JournalWill Crichton's next book be a best seller?

MacDonaldActually, the story starts out very slowly and I almost put it down but once I start a book something in me says to stay the course. And I did and am happy I did. This is a terrific and timely account of sexual harassment in the workplace. The rules have changed, women are becoming more prevalent in executive positions and the sparks are flying in both directions! I don't want to give it away but I will say the woman isn't always right! Enjoy and learn the new rules. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The book ended up being good, but writing about technology is trickyBy Melissa H. ByersThe book ended up being good, but writing about technology is tricky. What was cutting-edge when the book was written sounds clunky now, and is distracting to the present day reader. Even though it.s not the real point of the book, it does get in the way. The gender equality themes do hold up, however, so if you can get past the dated parts, the story itself is good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Still RelevantBy LoveToReadI didn't realize until the end that this was based on a true story. We all know of stories about male predators in the workplace, but not so much about the female predators. This book illustrates how it is different and is one you will be hard-pressed to put down.
