Title: Typical Crichton - pseudo science + bad writing
Review: State of Fear suffers from the same malaise that infects Crichton's other novels - one-dimensional characters that pull out a soapbox and bleat their pseudo-scientific opinions for 50 pages. Whenever I hit this point in his stories, I practice some advanced book-flinging.With State of Fear, Crichton warms the cockles of the anti-global warming crowd's heart. If you're in need of some bogus "science" denying the connection between fossil fuels and climate change in order to drive your Hummer guilt-free, this POS is for you.It's depressing (but typical) that Bush lapped up this crapola and considered Crichton such an expert that he invited him to the White House to discuss global warming. This is who's determining our country's energy and environmental policy, people: oil company executives and "scientists" like Michael Crichton.
