oh man I was so disapointed in the book compared to the moive. I feel crichton has great ideas but is not a good writer. It is one of the few writers where I prefer the movies.

There are always exceptions. Andromeda Strain was an excellent book.

You know I do recall that one not being bad. Rising son was maybe a little better book wise to.

Try reading "The Great Train Robbery."

He wrote it as if it were a factual reconstruction of an actual crime. Long passages on things like rat baiting, penny hangs, tipping servants, and other Victoriana

I have not read that but I don't read much now so I doubt I will get around to it. Top of my list is reading the wheel of time that jordan did not write to finish off the series.
