Tried reading one a few years back and found it boring. Maybe I should try reading it again now. For the next few months, I am might be reading only Crichton's books till I finish reading all his books. So I will be reading Airframe soon. Puranjoy, Finished a third one yesterday - 'The Terminal Man'. Didn't find it that great. I have just started reading 'Rising Sun'. Will read Timeline and Prey after that. SK, Oh. I tried reading a book of Crichton's when in college and found it boring and didn't read beyond 10 pages or so! I don't even remember what book it was. Ranjhith, Oh ok. Yes Amy is a gorilla. Sreekrishnan, Oh. >my las book was One or 2 of James H chase and all of Dan Browns I guess you don't read many books then.... I didn't like James Hadley Chase's books too when I tried reading one a few years back. Dan Brown's were good. Vijay Kumar, >rest of the movies did not do justice to the book This is the case with many books made into movies generally.... I haven't watched any of the movies except Jurassic Park. >I remember juicing up the story while narrating it to my lil sis… :) Srikanth, Oh I didn't feel so. >his reasearch and presentation of facts is quite wonderful Yup Hmmm yeah Ponnarasi, Try it soon :) Mahesh,

Puranjoy,
Finished a third one yesterday - ‘The Terminal Man’. Didn’t find it that great. I have just started reading ‘Rising Sun’. Will read Timeline and Prey after that.

SK,
Oh. I tried reading a book of Crichton’s when in college and found it boring and didn’t read beyond 10 pages or so! I don’t even remember what book it was.

Ranjhith,
Oh ok. Yes Amy is a gorilla.

Sreekrishnan,
Oh.
>my las book was One or 2 of James H chase and all of Dan Browns
I guess you don’t read many books then….
I didn’t like James Hadley Chase’s books too when I tried reading one a few years back. Dan Brown’s were good.

Vijay Kumar,
>rest of the movies did not do justice to the book
This is the case with many books made into movies generally….
I haven’t watched any of the movies except Jurassic Park.
>I remember juicing up the story while narrating it to my lil sis…
:)

Srikanth,
Oh I didn’t feel so.
>his reasearch and presentation of facts is quite wonderful

On his writing - this is a not so up to the mark - the story is clearly looks artificial - not at all proper. On the global warming facts - his reasearch and presentation of facts is quite wonderful - See to warm a room itself we spend lot of energy - but nature just changes the climate of a 1000 sq.miles just like that (snapping my finger). Nature's energy is awesome. Earth always keeps warming and cooling... Man with all his utmost effects cannot change anything. This is a tactic to slow down the growth of developing nations... Okay, nice one - keep up the good work. ‘State of Fear’ ?? On his writing - this is a not so up to the mark - the story is clearly looks artificial - not at all proper.

Except for Jurassic Park, the rest of the movies did not do justice to the book. Congo was good in parts. I remember juicing up the story while narrating it to my lil sis... :) MC is a prolific writer though... Disclosure, Twister, Sphere, Timeline, several episodes of ER... different genres.
