For all things Michael Crichton... author of such novels Jurassic Park, Next, State of Fear, Sphere and Congo.

Jurassic Park is the only one of his books I've ever read. It was a bit too dry for me.

I've read Sphere, but it's been along time. I remember that I really enjoyed it. But at this point that's about all I can remember.

Maybe it's time for a re-read?

I've most of his books so far. And my favorite so far is Timeline with State of Fear a close second.

A buddy of mine read Timeline and he thought it was one of his best works.

He said the movie didn't even come close to doing it justice.

And that buddy of yours is right. It didn't.

Timeline, as far as I'm concerned, is one of his best works and along with Congo and Eaters of the Dead are my favorties.

I completely agree.

The movie royally sucked.
It was probably good for those who didn't read the book, but, for me.. it sucked. :p

I hope Harper Collins will still release his new novel. :/

Even if it's later than they planned.
