Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

 

The only Crichton books I've read are Congo and Jurassic Park. I thought both were incredibly fun. I also think JP the movie is a wonderful piece of work. I can't bear to watch Congo all the way through.

 

I haven't read a Stephen King book in many, many years.

 

-AA

JP... Patches, maybe.

Like Steven King I tend to go for the older stuff. Andromeda Strain, West World, Coma, etc. Although I liked Eaters of the Dead, Timeline and Jurassic Park, too. Oh, and The Great Train Robbery.

 

Okay, yeah, I tend to like his stuff. Better than Grishom, anyway, and usually more than King. And I try and read his books before they become movies. Or at least before I see them.

I never read eaters of the dead, but I did enjoy the 13th warrior. Its probably the only chrichton based movie I've ever liked.

I first read The Andromeda Strain in Junior High School and I last read Jurassic Park 2. The problem with Crichton is that all of his books are the same story.

 

Frankenstein.

 

No matter how utterly fascinating the subject starts off, none of the protagonists can be considered heroes, just victims caught in the flood of his narrtive, and every breakthrough of technological innovation was more than man was meant to know or deal with.

Andromeda is cool. Oh, you're talking about something else.
