Title: What happened to Michael Crichton?
Review: I read this long book over a couple days this past spring. I read through the whole book and was really disappointed by the end. My hope is that Michael Crichton turns around and renews his great novel writing of the past. "State of Fear" did have a sometimes fast-paced story, but the author's personal politics in regard to the legitimacy of global warming was overwhelming and simply too heavy-handed. For those readers who love conspiracy theory and for those who do not value the current warnings by the scientific community concerning global warming, this book will be a great addition to your library. If, however, you have been a Crichton fan in the past with his wonderful science-flavored novels like "Andromeda Strain" and "Jurrasic Park", don't purchase this book--it's the first failure that this great author has produced. I'll have to be a bit more discerning as to which future Crichton novels I buy.
