    Exactly! More good people seem to be dying this year than any other-both famous people and, in my case, family.

    RIP Michael. At least you can't see Jurassic Park bastardised any further.

    One of my favourite authors, his work brought me away from reading "teen" books to reading more mature material. He will be missed.

    :rip  Mr. Michael Crichton

    You wrote a great book that turned into a great movie. :( 

    I'll be sure to go checkout Prey the next time I go to the library. That book always seemed interesting, yet I never got around to reading it.

    eaters of the dead was a personal favorite.
    and Rising Sun just proved that he could swap genres with ease.
    I used to think he pissed his parents off by abandoning Medicine for writing, but am glad he did.
