BOOKS. state of fear

i just picked up this new one from michael crichton. ive always loved his stuff. i first got into his writing through jurassic park. actually, i was ahead of the game and read the book a few months before the movie first came out. i really loved the book (the movie too, even though they were so different.) i got hooked on his style of writing- he has an amazing way of writing a page-turning adventure, and including tons of interesting research and science. it never feels tacked on, he is able to blend the story and science perfectly. after jurassic park i checked out some of his other books. i really loved most of them (disclosure really sucked) and still look to his book sphere as one of my favorite books ive ever read. granted, his older books are a lot better than is more recent efforts, but almost anything he writes is fun to read.
i picked up the new one earlier this week (i wait till paperback, as most smart people do- its like 20 bucks cheaper) and was checking out the list of books he has written, an di realized ive actually read all of this other fiction books! shoot! anyway, i look forward to starting this new one. i dont really know anything about it, and i think i prefer that. a new adventure begins...
