Godspeed to him and prayers for his family.
I always enjoyed his books, “Jurassic Park” was a little over the top, but “The Great Train Robbery” (one of his earlier books) is an old favorite of mine, as is “Timeline.”
Major loss in the war against the faux religion of global warming.
I absolutely adored his work.
Prayers offered, God rest him.
Great writer. Rip
Give the Great Train Robbery a read. The background information he spins out on Victorian England is really fun. I’ve read most of his works. The only one I couldn’t make it through was A Case of Need. It might have become balanced later in, but the early sympathic view for the abortionists turned me off. Despite, I was a fan and am sorry to hear this.
Damn!
Like today didn’t suck enough...
RIP
This is very sad news. He is one of my favorite authors. I always thought it would be neat to listen to him give a talk somewhere and then be able to ask him about his research and writing. He was a brilliant and compelling writer.
Rest in peace Michael Crichton. God Bless and keep you.
God Bless and comfort your dear family and friends.
Very sad news.
RIP.
I loved every one of his books that I’ve read.
Even “Airframe”, which appeared to be daunting, given the subject matter.
Read “State of Fear” last year.
Read “Next” this summer.
I read “The Andromeda Strain” at age 8 in 1973.
He’s been one of my favorites, ever since.
He will be missed.
This is awful. I love his books. I tell everyone to read “State of Fear”, and read his transcripts of lectures and his papers.
So sad to see a good one go!
Strange. He was too young, especially considerning he seemed always to live a charmed life. Brilliant, imaginative, great writer, wealthy, successful, great lust for life, world-famous, world-traveler... a little odd, IMO.
Terrible news. He was a great writer of popular science and fiction. Hopefully his speeches on the environmentalist crapola and pseudoscience will stay available on the web.
As if we didn’t have enough to be depressed about...
Prayers to his family and friends.
He must look like I feel.
It's kind of weird, though. Me and one of my friends were just talking the other day and wondering when he'd come out with a new book. Apparently, he'd been ill for a while and had stopped writing. Very sad.
“In what his family calls an unexpected death, it was revealed that he was waging a private battle against cancer.”
I had heard sometime back he had terminal cancer so ‘unexpected’?
And what has happened to Teddy?

I enjoyed everything the guy did. God bless him and his family.
RIP.
