This guy is amazing! He is the one who wrote Jurassic Park and also the Andromeda Strain. I just bought his newest novel "Next"

What do you think of him?

I loved Jurassic Park, Congo, Sphere, and Timeline. He puts a lot of really interesting information into his books and is skilled at creating suspense, making for a very good read.

I haven't read Michael Crichton in ages, but i have found him enjoyable.

Jurassic park is, of course, brilliant and i also liked Rising Sun.

Sphere i liked apart from the end as i don't get how people can just "forget" something that happened, particularly something traumatic, but it is possible (the forgetting part).

The Michael Crichton book that i found most memorable was Terminal Man, i found it interesting and exciting.
