Michael Crichton

Avon, 2002

Robbers Win
Action, adventure, intrigue, romance, and social history are a fantastic combination. The little essays into the fabric of Victorian life ring like either Dickens or Victor Hugo. THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY is a fictionalized account of a famous heist where the ...

State of Fear

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2005

My first Crichton book
This was my first Michael Crichton book and I couldn't put it down till it was finished.

Timeline

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 2003

Great Science Thriller!
Just my cup of tea! A mixture of science, history, and the underlying social ramifications - if time travel becomes a reality. No fluff, no extraneous drawn out descriptions, just right into the action. Crichton, with his medical and science background infuses a sense ...

HarperCollins, 2006

Enterntaining, Thought-Provoking Pageturner
And scary. The first page says, "This novel is fiction, except for the parts that aren't." The really frightening thing is that the parts I thought were over-the-top fiction, weren't. I was shocked to read Crichton's final "Author's Note" and bibliography, which make ...

Eaters of the Dead

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2006

Great shorter read.
I read this directly after finishing Sphere. It's a very fun book and Crichton does a good job getting you into the culture. Good action and good character development.

Jurassic Park

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1991

Thrilling
I didn't think I'd care for this book; I saw the movie when it came out in 1993 and liked it well enough. No big deal for me. But the book is GINORMOUSLY better than the movie. It is an absolute thriller. You won't be able to put it down.

The Lost World

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1996

Pretty good book, I would recommend this book to a friend.
I enjoy most of Crichton's books, they are usually unique and intriguing . I was surprised that he was able to still have more story left after Jurassic Park, but this book was equally entertaining.

Prey

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

A bit of smartly done, high-tech adventure
Michael Crichton is re-visiting some old stomping grounds in this one. The 1970s sci-fi movie classic Westworld was written and directed by Crichton and it features technology run amok and set loose on a killing spree. Jurassic Park features the dangers of tampering ...

The Andromeda Strain

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

Not as Good as Microbe, But worth it.
I read both this and Bill Clem's novel, Microbe, which has been compared to it, and I enjoyed Clem's book more. Not to say this wasn't good, but parts just fell flat for me, where in Clem's book, it's non-stop action and furious pace. Still I have to give it four stars ...

Travels

Michael Crichton

Harper Paperbacks, 2002

Dive into the real life of Dr. MC and find out what type of person he really is
At the time that I picked up my copy of Travels I had read just about all of Crichton's novels with the exception of The Terminal Man and Eaters of the Dead (I'll read them someday). So, I had formed quite a liking for Dr. MC and his writings and thought Travels would ...

Michael Crichton: A New Collection of Three Complete Novels: Congo, Sphere, Eaters of the Dead

Michael Crichton

Wings, 1994

Best $7.00 I've ever spent!
I bought this book in a local bookstore only because it was marked half off and I recognized the name... and I must say it was the best $7.00 I've ever spent. I started at the beginning and read all 3 books in just over 2 days. All three were great, but Sphere was my ...

Sphere

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1988

Great fun
This was the first Crichton book I read a really long time ago. The book is great. Way better than the movie that came out. The mood and characters were developed so well and just kept me reading.

A Case of Need

Michael Crichton

Signet, 2003

Misery begets misery
I rarely read true stories, but after this one, Crichton has redeemed himself. It's interesting, informative and breathtaking. I love it!!! (^u^)

The Terminal Man

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2002

GREAT READ!!!
Michael Crichton at his best. With today's technology digging deeper and deeper into our brains this book should make everyone stop for a minute and wonder if we need to leave that unexplored frontier alone.

Congo

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

Great story
As an Anthroplogy student I have a particular fondness to this book. I love the story and the action is intense. The book is lengthy but you will finish it in a few sittings, it's that good!
