Re: R.I.P. Michael Crichton
Um, he was an entertaining author but I certainly wouldn't use words like 'great' to describe him.

His books were what I would call 'popcorn' books and it often felt as if you were reading a movie rather than a literary work. And a lot of his later books like Timeline and Prey were pretty poor.

Still, sad to hear he's died though.
