Sorry to hear that. I like his writing but on the other hand isn't he kind of a
one-note wonder? Aren't they all cautionary morality plays about the dangers of
the pace of technology outstripping the pace of humanity's moral development?

My half-way-through no spoilers review.
God it sucks so far. So far this is the worst book I've read from
Crichton. What is sad is that there is a darn good story in here, but
it is surrounded by bad characterization(spelling is wrong I'm sure
but I haven't had my coffee) and preaching at a level

Jiim, I can say that I have loved every book he has written. One of my
favorites is Air Frame, which is about an investigation into an
accident that happens on a plane. Congo was 10 times better than the
movie. Jurrasic Park was also quite excellent.

Andromeda Strain.
When I first interviewed for my current job, I was given a tour of the
facilities there. All the time I couldn't help thinking of that film.
There are more labs of that biosafety level (BSL 3 and 4) around that
most realize.

Eaters of the Dead is an interesting novel. Just enough real
background to lend credulance to the book - I recently got a modern
translation of Ibn Fadlan's chronology of his trip to Scandinavia in
the 12th or 13th century. Some of the stuff Crighton includes
apparently happened - like the funerals
I really liked eaters of dead tho I don't usually read best-selling
authors. I remember liking one of his early books about a rogue germ,
but I don't remember the title.
