As most of you probably remember, I wrote a review on Jurassic Park a while ago.  Its author, Michael Crichton, passed away on November 4, 2008. 

When I heard the news, I was devastated.  Mr. Crichton was one of my absolute favorite authors.  He wrote dramatically while being simple.  He was scientific yet understandable.  His books are suspenseful and engrossing.  His characters are alive and believable. 

I have read the following Crichton books: The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Airframe, Next, Prey, and Sphere.  Each book was stuffed to the brim with relevant technology that transported me to a setting where the story he was telling was probably fiction…but…it could just maybe happen…

I found The Andromeda Strain to be the most scientifically engrossing but the least exciting plot-wise.

Jurassic Park is one of my favorite books of all time.

The Lost World was a disappointment to me.  I view it as a publicity stunt to match the movie sequels. 

Airframe is a fabulous book.  Business mixes with science mixes with corruption and intrigue.

Next was not my favorite.  The characters were wonderful but I did not enjoy the plot of the jumpiness of the scenes.

Prey was terrifying and not altogether pleasant to read, but thrilling.  When I was done reading it, I wasn’t sure whether I liked it or not, so I read it again.

I am currently re-reading Sphere in memorium.  It is one of my favorite Crichton books; a true psychological thriller coupling fantasy with imagination. 

Even though I personally did not like a few of his books, every single one had characteristics common to Crichton’s writing.  Every single one contains his unique style of dialogue.  Every single one has the escalation points which compel the reader to grip the book in her hands and push her eyes to read faster.  Every book by Michael Crichton redefines the “thriller” genre.

I encourage you to share with me your favorite Crichton books and why.  Tell me which ones to read, and share in my tribute to this amazing author.
