Prey from Avon Books Price: $7.99 Customer Review:  As part of a broad public discussion, not a specifically scientific one, Michael Crichton reaches into the deep thick darkness of our future with his new book, "Prey," and viscerally pulls out some issues, some potential realities, with his poetry-prose, that are so central to our continued... |

Timeline from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: As an avid fan of Crichton since my _Jurassic Park_ childhood, I found myself with mixed feelings regarding _Timeline_. While an extremely well-thought out book, deeply immersed in academics and atmosphere, it was rather lacking in what I look for most in a novel: character development. As far as... |

Eaters of the Dead from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: Eaters of the Dead shares Crichton's imaginative powers with other excellent novels such as "The Andromeda Strain," "Jurassic Park," and "The Lost World." However, written as an historic manuscript, Crichton locks himself into a necessarily slower-paced work. While at times this means that the... |

The Great Train Robbery from Avon Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review:  This true story set in Victorian London in 1855 is a beauty of a read. With Michael Crichton weaving his magic over the scene and Edward Pierce, mastermind and protagonist, we have an unbeatable combination. The author does wonders describing authentic period scenes and showing us the huge divide... |

Airframe from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review:  Admittedly, I was dismayed at the storyline for Airframe. Having read and been hooked on other Crichtons such as The Lost World, Jurassic Park, and Timeline, I found Airframe to be one of his lesser works of fiction. As usual, Crichton backs up his story with scientific gobbledegook. If he doesn't... |

Three Complete Novels: The Andromeda Strain, The Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery from Wings Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Although the Terminal Man is a little dated (1972), it was definitely a fun book. I have worked in a university hospital most of my working life-in fact the U of M is mentioned in passing in the book-and started my career in neurology. It was fun revisiting the medical world of the 70s. Some of the... |

Sphere from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: *Sphere* is an incredible book, despite some of its limitations. The characters are not especially deep (par for the course Chricton) and this book is less a vehicle for education that most of his other works. Nor is it intended as an action-oriented thriller (though it has elements of that, if you... |

Travels from Perennial Price: $10.46 Customer Review: If you've read any of Michael Crichton's SF books like Jurassic Park or the Andromeda Strain, you ought to give this book a go. If you don't like SF, you'll probably STILL love this book. An account of many of the true stories of the author's interesting life, the book is divided into chapters which... |

Jurassic Park from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: When a person first reads the cover of Jurassic Park by Michale Crichton they might think it was just another dinosaur book. But that's where they would be wrong. The book Jurassic Park has a good reason for being the number one best selling book. Alan Grant is a paleontologist that is invited to... |

Congo from Avon Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: Congo is another of Michael Crichton's wonderful masterpieces. It is a brilliant mixture of suspense, action, and unthinkable horrors. This book kept me busy, reading page after page, never wanting to stop. Michael Crichton's realistic jungle setting and descriptions greatly enhanced the feeling of... |

Four scientists and a team of technicians working in a top-secret government facility created specifically for such an emergency must isolate, characterize, and... |

MANAGEMENT OF THE ABSURD from Free Press Price: $9.00 Customer Review: "Management of the Absurd" is very very humorous and easy to read. It cleverly and logically exposes the reasons why quick and simple solutions (for simple minds) will generally fail in human relationships. As I read the book, I was struck by how the author captures the way people actually behave in... |

The Lost World from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: I read this book about a year and a half ago, well before the movie came out. I absolutely loved the original Jurassic Park and it ranks as one of my most favorite books. But frankly, some stories just don't need sequels. Jurassic park is one of those stories. "The Lost World" gives me the... |

The Terminal Man from Avon Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: At 260 pages, this is a fairly short book. Short or not, this book packs a wallop! I could not stop turning the pages. Crichton knows how to build suspense and develop characters. I found myself emotionally invested in the characters and I enjoyed reading about the scientific aspects as well. As... |

Rising Sun from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: ...where "politically incorrect" writing is a license to spout jingoistic, offensive, dated opinions about a subject that the author (a medical doctor and otherwise excellent novelist) has no documented first-hand experience in. I have been a Crichton fan since "Terminal Man", and I mean the... |

Michael Crichton: A New Collection of Three Complete Novels from Wings Price: $8.99 Customer Review: I bought this book in a local bookstore only because it was marked half off and I recognized the name... and I must say it was the best $7.00 I've ever spent. I started at the beginning and read all 3 books in just over 2 days. All three were great, but Sphere was my favorite. I love his writing... |

A Case of Need from Signet Book Price: $7.19 Customer Review: Sci-fi wizard Michael Crichton wrote this novel when he was still in medical school. In fact, he wrote many such novels under pseudonyms to pay his way through college. Then, this book won an Edgar Award, and everything changed! 'A Case Of Need' is a medical thriller along with a murder mystery... |

Disclosure from Ballantine Books Price: $7.19 Customer Review: When I read this I was positively delighted. It tackles such an issue that many simply would avoid. We must remember that it is indeed a contraversial subject, but we must not shy away from it. Crichton certainly does not, and he hits it head on. But with an added twist; the sexual harrassment... |

Five Patients from Ballantine Books Customer Review: I am an enourmous fan of the TV show ER. Everyone knows that Michael Crichton created ER so when i finally found a copy of Five Patients, (the book is extremly hard to find), I quickly grabbed it off the shelf and bought it. I thought that it would be like reading an episode of ER. Boy was a wrong,... |

Twister from Ballantine Books Customer Review: Pretty good screenplay to a pretty good movie. Interesting fact: this isn't the final version of the screenplay that was used in the movie. In fact, there are a lot of differences. But simply put: if you like Crichton's novels you will like this one, as it features more of his trademark realistic... |

Jasper Johns from Harry N Abrams Customer Review: Novelists have always loved artists, and artists have always loved novelists. They love and admire the other's talent, but--most important--they are not competitors. Crichton's love of Johns' work certainly comes forth, and Johns' seemed flattered that a best-selling novelist, and not an art... |
