Edited by: Mazzarins Demise on 05/11/2008 20:05:56 Author of Jurassic Park, Lost World and many other great books died yesterday on Election Day. Obviously it was overshadowed by the historic American elections held yesterday so why not mention it now. Crichton died "unexpectedly" after a private battle with cancer.

Man that's a shame, Terminal Man was always one of my favorites by Crichton. ---------- The six paths and the four lives.... |

That sucks. Most of his books were a bit 'meh', but enjoyable nonetheless.

leave it to Americans to mar a perfectly good man's death with an election day
I read a few of his works, most of them more recent ones (airframe, state of fear, a few others).
It saddens me to see such a great man of literature, gone

Sphere was also a very good book. Marred slightly by the really bad movie made of it.

Man this is a great loss Andromeda Strain and Eaters of the Dead are two of the most enjoyable reads I had before College. One of his newer books PREY was one of the greatest reads I have had ever.
He will be missed greatly and may his stories last for many generations.

Literally the only author I ever bothered with. Amazing books, amazing man.
My thanks goes out to Michael Crichton.

State of Fear sucked. And I mean really sucked. I have seldom abandoned a book after starting it, let alone after making it 3/4 of the way through, but that one was intolerable. Ugh.

He was a very creative and gifted author, but he really needed to work on ending his novels. There's a reason Crichton is synonymous with Scooby, after all.
But Eaters of the Dead was awesome. Too bad he didn't write more like that.
