Unfortunately, it made Crichton instantly infamous among the environmental zealots! <br/><br/>@Arjun,<br/>Yes!! Its hard enough to build a plot to hold the reader's attention through the book, but to add so much science/social issues into the story seamlessly is truly brilliant. <br/><br/>He did the screenplay for Jurassic Park too didnt he? I haven't watched a single episode of ER. Should watch it.. <br/><br/>I knew he was working on his next novel, has he completed it? It will be interesting to read it anyway.. <br/><br/>Thanks for coming guys! @Janani,

@Arjun,
Yes!! Its hard enough to build a plot to hold the reader’s attention through the book, but to add so much science/social issues into the story seamlessly is truly brilliant.

He did the screenplay for Jurassic Park too didnt he? I haven’t watched a single episode of ER. Should watch it..

I knew he was working on his next novel, has he completed it? It will be interesting to read it anyway..

Thanks for coming guys!

Yes Prasanna … a truly great loss!

Michael versatile Crichton – is one of my favorite authors; one whom I hold highly, along with Arthur Hailey, for the range of subjects he has dealt with and the depths he goes in each of’em to construct the complex plot and to untie it.

I also appreciated all the epic science-fiction movies he was a part of, including Twister.

Now, I’ll wait for his last novel that is to be released posthumously in 2009!

It beats most of his other books w.r.t the research he's done and the literature he's surveyed! <i>A</i> felt it was by far his best book!<br/>I infact even enjoyed his simple non-science books like Great Train Robbery. You can really relive those moments he's described in the book!<br/>And yes... we <b>have</b> indeed lost a great writer! Have you read his ‘State of Fear’?
