Prey

Prey by Michael Crichton is about something that we fear might happen one day. Humans cause their own extinction, this time the means turns out to be nanotechnology. Microbots have gone rogue and are threatening the existence of Human Species.

State of Fear

State of Fear is a novel by Michael Crichton is actually an environmental thriller. The world is in danger this time from Radical Environmentalists. The book keeps swaying between interesting and boring. It gets even worse as its considerably bigger than the usual Michael Crichton books. There isn't really much of an adventure that is really worth it. Does a few incidents of

Airframe

Airframe Book Review

I have always been fascinated by Airplanes and especially Air Crash Investigations. Airplanes are extremely complex and yet the incidents that happen never involve just a single reason. They are an example of perfect machinery. And yet its humbling how a series of mistakes can bring down a plane in seconds. This makes investigating Air Crashes very difficult and also interesting as its one thing to find a fault and a totally different ball game to find a series of errors , that caused something so tragic.

The book is about an Airline Airframe manufacturing Company. An Aircraft develops problems mid air and rises up and falls down steeply for several minutes causing a couple of deaths and dozens of serious injuries to passengers. No one is sure of how and why this happened. The investigation gets more complicated due to the labor unrest and corporate games.

In the middle of all this is Ms Singleton , whose job is on the line. She has to find the reason of the Aircraft's malfunction before the media destroys the credibility of the Airplane.

The story is bit of a drag in the first half of the book, but it gets really interesting towards the end. Happy Reading.

A Case Of Need

This is certainly not one of the best works of Michael Crichton. Its rather disappointing for a murder mystery. In Fact its not even  a murder. The book revolves mainly around medical ethics so shouldn't be read with much expectations of a mystery.

It is a good book on medical ethics aspect of abortion and nothing else.

Eaters of the Dead

The story of an Arab courtier who visits the vikings, the language is unlike any other Michael Chrichton Novel , I had to refer a dictionary quite a number of times.

Most of the incidents are elaborately described and are sometimes hard to believe to be true, but then there seems to be good enough reason to believe that its a true story. In any case it is amusing to read and does give an insight into the lives of the arabs and the vikings.

Disclosure

In this world where man dominates everywhere, its difficult to believe that a woman can victimize a man. It's even hard to imagine it being sexual harassment . However Michael shows us how harassment is not a quality of gender but of power.

The novel breaks quite a lot of our pre conceived notions about the world and about the psychology of human beings. This is a book that must be read for the sheer brutal truth.

The Lost World

The Lost World

This is a sequel to the book Jurassic Park. In spite of their best effort in trying to destroy all the dinosaurs from the Islands, Some Survive and thrive in a remote Island. And as always there is some rich crazy guy willing to take the risk.

Unlike the first book there is more of "running around" and "fighting dinos" and less of technical mumbo jumbo. That makes it a very interesting read. While it does have a lot similarities to the previous books in terms of the plot . But overall a great book.

Jurassic park

Jurassic park by Michael Crichton

Most often movies that have been based on books, tend to be a watered down version and hardly seem to be of much interest. So while reading Jurassic park I was hoping to find something that would be better than the movie. 

However there was hardly any difference between the movie and the book. The book thus is as good as the movie. 

I wonder how much of difference it would make for those who read the book first.

Pirate Latitudes

Pirate Latitudes

Pirate Latitude is a book by Michael Crichton about a daring adventure in the high seas. The story get a bit dull in the middle but does reward with lots of twists and turn at the end.

However in comparison to other books of Michael Crichton , Pirate Latitude leaves the reader rather disappointed. The narration is rather bland and doesn't really spark much imagination. probably because of the rather extinct lifestyle and plot that it is based on.

The Ending also leaves the reader confused whether it is a good or a bad ending.

In short a good book but not the best works of Michael
