Title: Major Disappointment!
Review: I have been a huge fan of Michael Crichton for years and bought his latest book as soon as it hit the bookstore. Big mistake! Next time I will wait to read the reviews before purchasing one of his books.In "State of Fear" Crichton was so preoccupied with espousing his point of view regarding global warming that he neglected to construct a story around his theme. His characters were flat and boring, their dialogue redundant, the action sequences were devoid of any real suspense, and the promised "roller coaster thrill ride" stalled shortly after takeoff.Perhaps my expectations were too high having recently read all four of Dan Brown's suspenseful novels, but the writer who gave us Jurassic Park should have been able to craft a more interesting and suspenseful tale.This is a book that will surely wind up in the used books stores soon so hold off before you pay full price for this one.
