this book is just amazing. The ideas that mike uses are unique and captivating. Killer cameras, who knew this topic would be so entertaining.

Prey was the first book and not my last that i have read by micheal i loved this book because of the topic he writes about it is somethign diffrent then killers walking around and stuff like that. its not every day u c a book (hopefully a movie) about camras working and evolving together to hunt there creators anyway i just wanted to say it was a exelent book and i will be reading many more books (I am reading congo right now and i hope to have the same result as prey)!

It was an awsome it was a little predictable but there were still scenes that caught me off gaurd but other wise it was still good

it was a great book. I am a huge fan!! There are however some mistakes. For example when the heart is discussed he seemed to forget there are veins that carry oxygenated blood, and he got the valve names messed up. No biggy. The ending is also a little weak. I guess I just expected something different. Definitely get this book and read it. I lost about 12 hours of sleep because of it...could not put it down!!!!!
