Granted, I never read any of his books, and I only watched the first Jurassic Park, but that's a real shame.

I read quite a few of his books and liked them. It really is a shame that he's gone & at only 66 as well. Here's to you Mr. Crichton.
Aaaaw!! He was such a great author! I read the full-length Jurassic Park novel and enjoyed it even more than the movie that it inspired. RIP Michael
Michael Crichton's books were unique in the sense that I always felt compelled to drop everything until I finished reading them.
Rest in peace.

This certainly seems to be frustrating news, especially since I actually enjoyed watching the Jurassic Park movies, and going on the Jurassic Park ride on the Universal Studios Theme Park.
