Based upon the last couple novels of Crichton's I tried to read, a two sentence blurb about a baby raping journalist might present the most compelling character in the book.
No kidding...I hated both of his last two. Complete waste of time. Though if I wanted to read something stimulating, I wouldn't be reading his crap in the first place.
It's so painful to read. It's an understandable mistake in that it's an akward sort of name, but less understandable given how many times it appears in the article and was spelled correctly in the quoted portion
I really like some of Crichton's work - he writes enjoyable yarns about sci-fi but his recent attempts at subtly influencing opinion... just rubbish... he's free to have an opinion... he's free to voice an opinion but Jurassic Park was fun... you can't say that of his recent stuff. He pissed me off with State of Fear. But I'm sure he's not worried what I think
