With Reviews and Reader Comments Here

 

Do yourself a favor and do not compare yourself to Michael Crichton. The man seems determined to make a name in as many professions as possible--as a novelist, biographer, screenwriter, movie director, and physician. As a child, Crichton was encouraged to develop many interests, and as a scholar, he hit the ground running. After graduating from Harvard, he taught anthropology for a year at England's Cambridge University. He returned to Harvard and put himself through medical school by writing novels under the pseudonyms John Lange and Jeffery Hudson. Exhausted yet? After he tossed off The Andromeda Strain in 1969, Crichton decided to try directing a movie. The result was Westworld, a 1973 film that starred Yul Brynner as an automaton with bad intentions. Crichton went on to write and direct Coma (1978) and The Great Train Robbery (1979). His biggest success came with the publication of Jurassic Park which Steven Spielberg adapted into a film (with help from Crichton on the script) that broke all box-office records in the summer of 1993. With his next novel, Rising Sun, Crichton wisely moved away from the dinosaurs, although he revisited them in The Lost World in 1995. That year also marked the debut of the Crichton-created TV series E.R., which was awarded eight Emmy Awards in its first season.
