All i can say is, i loved the books of Michael Crichton.
They gave me hours of joy, opened doors to new worlds and thoughts to me.

But also movies based on novels by Michael Crichton will always remain to our culture. I guess everybody loved to watch the movie "jurassic park"

I just learnd that he owned for 2 years a game animation studio, to create an adventure game based on his novel timeline.

I really admire the variety of subjects Mr Crichton wrote about.

Wow. What a surprise.

I too enjoyed reading his books and was absolutely delighted with 'Eaters of the Dead', as well as his more popular works, such Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain and Sphere.

While I began looking to other avenues after voraciously devouring his books as a youngster, the time he alotted me inside his imagination is a warm memory to have.

The world is a slightly dimmer place today...
