This is a hard one to review, I'm going to spew a lot of words. I'm going to hide them behind spoiler tags so that my review will read better. This is a fictional book about climate change. Specifically, it's a fictional book that purports climate change to be fictional as well. DISCLAIMER: [s...
This one I'm not too sure about. Coming off of the high I got from Timeline I was expecting much more. There was still the element of "fact" and action, with a little romance thrown in. This one is all about global warming and whether it's a "thing" or not. A whole bunch of science jargon and argume...
State of Fear is part sci-fi, part thriller, part essay on environmentalism. There was some good and some bad in this novel. Philanthropist George Morton is planning on donating a large sum of money to an extreme environmentalist group until he learns about their methods, and gets more information a...
3.5 starsI can’t believe that I am sitting here thinking about this review while Hurricane Sandy’s imminence is being trumpeted just outside my door.Makes you think…..The story itself is about global warming.

I love Michael Crichton. He introduced me to science fiction and, therefore, holds a special place in my heart and on my bookshelves.

The whole point of the novel is to reveal the conviction that global warming is not happening - not worth reading 500 pages. It reflects the authors prejudices - he portrays environmentalists as uneducated fanatics. For everyone else who shares his opinions: ecologists' and environmentalists' sole o...
This book is terrible. It's righty anti-environment propaganda, for one thing, and Crichton should have known better; but for another thing, it's really badly written.I like Crichton usually, but this is a very bad book.
