Search - State Of Fear

I really loved Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain and Prey, so I thought I'd love this. Wow, was I wrong. This book was terrible!! First off, it was just plain boring. Crichton seems to be writing an editorial against global warming rather than a novel. I don't want to read page after page of his opinions on science, I want to read a story. Plus the characters were cardboard cutouts of people and weren't interesting. They were just stock characters, stereotypes with no depth at all and weren't even likable. The book was just plain awful. I couldn't get through it. This was one of the most disappointing books I have ever attempted to read. I hated this so much, I may never pick up a Crichton book again. I want my money back!

Crichton takes on Global Warming. He mixes fact with fiction in this thrilling adventure that takes him from one end of the world to the other chasing enviro-terrorists all the while enlightning his obtuse, if well-meaning, super-liberal buddy. Crichton did his research in this book explaining how the Global Warming "crisis" is all for political gain.

So much for global warming. A very mesmerizing account of the fallacies concerning the myth of global warming. Read it and try to still beleive in what the media is feeding you.

Readable but opinionated to a fault. I don't agree with every point of view of the books I read but I do like a balance. This book is badly out of balance.

Excellent read.

Good book. Didn't hold my attention as much as some others, but overall good.
