Title: When Did Crichton Become a Preacher?
Review: I've read almost all of Crichton's books and they are always entertaining and sometimes informative. He mixes science and technology with some great page-turning plots.However, "State of Fear" was neither entertaining or informative. It was excruciating to finish this 670-page book but I kept going because I wanted to give Crichton a chance to redeem himself.I've never seen such a blatant and horrendous cover for preachy propaganda. He claims "Everybody has an agenda. Except me." Then, what the heck were you doing using a character (Keller) to lecture throughout the book, putting pages worth of useless graphs and a pathetic "Author's Message" section, hopelessly defending this unpersuasive NON-fiction?I'm not even going to discuss the merits of his science or this highly controversial political topic of global warming but this book just stinks.I hope next time Crichton wants to force-feed his views on others, it's not in the thriller section of the bookstore.
