Title: Not a novel, just a political viewpoint
Review: Normally, I'm enthused to read Crichton's books, "Prey" and other offerings have always held my interest."State of Fear" is nothing like his other works.It is a very long, and mostly mundane statement of Crichton's beliefs regarding Global Warming and other environmental issues. The plot is loosely supported by some minor intrigue, which never really interfere's with the long dialogs about the environment.I kept reading in hopes, Crichton would infuse his normallytaught situations and actions.I finished the book only to realize this is nothing more than a diatribe about the environment.He even goes so far as to take the time to "explain" his research and beliefs in the "author's statement".Give us a break, Mr. Crichton !!!For what it's worth, I share this authors beliefs that not enough is known about our environment to accuse the inhabitants of killing our world, BUT, I bought this book to be entertained, Not to be lectured.
