i dun know whether there is any Micheal Crichton fans here. Anyway, i am one of his fans. I almost finish all of his books without realization. I like his style b'coz bside reading u actually get educated from his books (all the facts he stated look real to me). However, you must learn to exclude the fictional stuff lar. 'The Andromeda Strain', 'Timeline' grips me the most. I finished reading those books within two days for each book respectively. Despite of that, i am quite disappointed with his new books 'State of Fear'.

Crichton's new book 'State of Fear' is an extremely good read IMO, not because of the story, but because it gives you a real look at the global warming issue. Sure sure, Crichton is just trying to justify Bush's rejection of the Kyoto Agreement blablabla... you know what? He provides the facts, which are utterly believable.

Anyway I have every single book by MC. I'm a big fan of his smile.gif

I like the facts but the storyline is flat in this book coz there is almost no twist in the story. However, it is onli my opinion

lol, it is because we are talking mostly about fiction here and yours is mostly non-fiction. Dan Brown's book for da vinci's code and angel and demon is good but for digital fortress, i am kind of disappointing coz the story is almost predictable.
