Michael Crichton

State of Fear

Sarah Escorsa

This is the best Crichton novel I've read since Jurassic Park. A real page-turner that gives an entirely new focus on environmental issues, which is nice. You don't have to believe everything Crichton says but it's interesting to read about other opinions and little talked about research on the subject of environmentalism. The weakest point of the novel would be its characters and cop-out climax but other than that, it's a pretty entertaining read.

This novel is another thriller from the bestselling author of 'Jurassic Park' and 'Prey'. Drawing on his past as a Harvard Medical School student and his ongoing study of the world of technology, Crichton's gripping fiction is grounded in scientific fact culled from the latest academic journals.

Jan Talkington

At times a little preachy but overall a nice, solid book. Makes you think about what your source of news really is and what those in power will do to keep you under their control.
