Title: State of Fear? More like State of boredom.
Review: I am a big Michael Crichton fan and quickly scooped up this book at the local library in hopes of another thriller, but was disappointed by this overly technical, long-winded book. Typically Crichton uses technology as a backbone to the story but gives us characters to tell the story. In State of Fear he is so intent on bombarding us with ecological data, usually presented in a "I know what I'm talking about and you don't" tone by Kenner that the book reads more like a Save the World brochure from WWF. After being entertained and riveted by his previous books I only finished this one in hopes of seeing the pace pick up and the story get exciting. I was let down on both fronts.Pass on this Crichton book and hope the next one is better.
