Negative Positive
Title: Educational, entertaining, thought-provoking
Review: Probably my favorite Crichton book. It's a compilation of true, autobiographical stories from Crichton's life, from his days in med school to vacations to foreign lands to experimenting with psychic phenomenon.This book gives you a good understanding of Crichton's thinking processes. The problems with medicine (albeit in the 1960's). The openness with which he visits and tries to understand foreign cultures (and his mis-adventures in doing so). Some of his closed-minded tendencies, which we can all understand.What is particularly interesting to me is how he, as a man of medicine and a scientist, opened his mind on psychic phenomenon. I don't claim to understand any of this aura-reading, meditation, seances, etc., but it's really fascinating that Crichton spent some time experimenting with these phenomenon.Great reading!
