Michael Crichton has been battling cancer and died yesterday at the age of 66. I've read almost all of Crichton's work. The Great Train Robbery was my favorite. I loved his fictional "introductions" or "acknowledgments" which enhanced the believability of his stories. He was a great storyteller. RIP Crichton.

I loved a lot of Crichton’s work, especially Jurassic Park and Eaters of the Dead. I wasn’t a big fan of his later work and unfortunately got more soured by his response to Michael Crowley’s criticism (creating a barely endowed child rapist by the name of Mick Crowley in one of his books), but for all that, he was still a wonderful adventure novelist, IMO, creating the kind of visceral suspense I wish we saw more of in today’s fiction.
