Film School Rejects: Legendary Author Michael Crichton Passes Away

  • Chris Mackey · 1 year ago
    State of Fear is his best book. It was one of his last and was a very good representation of
    his core beliefs as a person and author. He's my favorite author. I'm sad to see him go. I'll
    be re-reading everything he has written in honor of him.

    I always liked the two Jurassic Park books. Rising Sun was good too.

    Man, this makes me really sad. Micheal Crichton was my second favorite modern writer (the first being Stephen King). He will be missed.

    My favorite was Eaters of the Dead, wich was adapted into The 13th Warrior.

    I feel the same way about Jurassic Park. The book was much better than the movie and I, too, read it at age 10.

    Great writer. RIP.

    Sphere, I've read all his books (except for his non-fiction works) and it is the most well-written, though none of his books can be considered poorly written. Sphere just holds a special place in my heart as the first Crichton I've ever read. RIP Michael Crichton. I've always looked forward to your books and I don't think I'll ever stop.

    The world is a little bit sadder without the man that brought my childhood "Jurassic Park". Somehow we all read that book at age 10. You will be missed, Mr Chrichton. Rest in peace.

    BBC World Service Radio looking for a Michael Chrichton fan to interview in next 3 hours.
    Someone who has read all/most of his books, and can enthuse about why he is good to read.

    Jurassic Park, Sphere, and Eaters of the Dead are among my favorites.

    Its always sad to see a creative, entertaining writer go.
    Condolences to the family.

    Legendary? does that not imply that people have actually heard of him? well may he rest in peace whoever he was.
  • D Train · 1 year ago
    Yes Mortimer, for those of us few who are literate, he was legendary. And you sir, are a dick.
