"I loved this book, but the BEST part about it was- even though fiction-the extensive sources he then listed in the back."

OH I TOTALLY AGREE!
I usually just trade my paperback books in for new books...
THIS ONE I AM KEEPING!
Funny..if you google the book..there are a ZILLION people discrediting Crichton because he is not a scientist..I read a BUNCH of it and never saw anyone discredit the SCIENTIFIC DATA that he used though!

My husband has an funny saying he picked up in the Army- "if ya can't dazzle 'em with your brilliance then blind 'em with b*lls&*t".

This is what they do- they can't debate with facts, so they will attack the messenger. Crichton IS a scientist- he is an MD- bona fide and credentialed.
