Eruption by Michael Crichton and James Patterson

 A volcano threatens to erupt and bury the big island.

This was okay. It might have been better if I was able to read it in a few long  stretches.  I was only reading a few chapters each night, so I was pulled out of the story over and over.  I also found myself flipping to the map each night.  I'm sure the map could be helpful, but for me it was another thing to interrupt the story.

3 stars.
