State of Fear

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2005

State of Accuracy
Michael Crichton knows how to use brilliant science that is easy to understand. This book gives more than just interesting characters, suspense, and tough situations; it gives you the facts about environmental science. I thought it was great. -Stephen Prins, author ...

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

Michael Crichton

Wings, 1994

All we need now is all his works in one
I loved Sphere and Congo. I read them when 3 years ago I was overseas in Africa when I was about 11, and was glad a picked them up. I had read previous books, such as Jurassic Park and The Lost World, as well as The Adromedia Strain. In all truth, Sphere scared me ...

A Case of Need

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^)

Next

Michael Crichton

HarperCollins, 2006

Next
The last work of Michael Crichton. He has a kind of arrogant attitude towards his readers, but I generally agree with him.

The Andromeda Strain

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

Crichton's big ticket
I actually saw the movie before I read the book. I thought the movie was really good until I read the book... Wow! Crichton's writing style is amazing and addictive! Now, when I see the movie, I still think it's good, but it pales in comparison to the book.

Jurassic Park

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1991

A true classic
Ok so finally aftering seeing the movies so many times, I finally found a copy of the book in the one of the bedrooms upstairs. I have to say, the beginning of this book is very drab, Yadda yadda yadda, let me see some blood. and after the fun started I couldnt ...

Three Complete Novels: The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery

Michael Crichton

Wings, 1993

Three classic techno-thrillers in a bargain package
I bought this hardcover collection from the bargain section of my local bookstore a few years ago, mostly because I had been looking for a copy of The Great Train Robbery, but had not seen it available for sale separately. (I already owned a favorite, well-worn, ...

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.

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.

Sphere

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1997

best book ever
The movie was terrible, but this book is hands down my favorite still after 30 years of reading excellent books. Keeps you thinking all the way through.

The Great Train Robbery

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 ...

Airframe

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1997

This was like an airplane ride!
Reading this book, for me, was like riding on a commercial airplane. You get on the plane, all excited. You hear about what's coming up in your city of destination. You strap yourself in. You're all fidgety with anticipation. Then you wait. And wait. And wait. ...

Prey

Michael Crichton

Harper Collins, 2002

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 ...
