ARE you yet to experience the power of the Wii? Well if the answer to that is a big fat yes then read on...

To Celebrate the release of Michael Crichton's new novel Next, Harper Collins are giving one lucky winners the chance to win a Nintendo Wii aswell as a copy of the book.

Five runner ups will also be getting a copy of the book.

Next is the new thriller from Michael Crichton, and is the most exciting and most anticipated publication of summer 2007.


Is your loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Do you know who all your children are? Do you know humans and chimpanzees differ in only 400 genes? And why does an adult human being resemble a chimp foetus?

There's a new genetic cure for drug addiction - is it worse than the disease? Ever wanted to design your own pet? Change the stripes on the fish in your aquarium?

Ever think to sell your body fat - or donate it to charity? Or sell your eggs and sperm online for thousands of dollars? Did you know one fifth of all your genes are owned by someone else?

Come to think of it, could you and your family be pursued cross country just because you happen to have certain genes in your body?

Welcome to our genetic world. Fast, furious, and out of control. This is not the world of the future - it's the world right now. Most of the events in this book have already happened. And the rest are just around the corner. Get used to it...

If you can’t wait to win, visit amazon to get your hands on a copy of the book http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0007241003/harpercollins56-21

    Aww sorry to hear that, can you resit?

    Dont be disappointed, we all fail exams at some time or another (and i wont lie in saying its hard to feel anything other than gutted when you have put work in) BUT hopefully you have a chance to resit, and with a bit of extra work from what you did before you will be fine.

    What kind of exam was it?xx

    Sorry to hear about you not passing exam, but I like to think we dont "fail" an exam, we maybe dont get the result we wanted but we have learnt something along the way, good luck with the resit ;)
    What we see depends mainly on what we look for

    Lol, yeah I guess I have learnt stuff in the process of studying for the exam and hopefully will pass in December. I logged in to get my results and there it was in black and white - 31% fail!
