Just a little something to brigthen your day:

Be sure to watch the trailer.

Since we all like to play outside, I figured there might be some interest out there. Or interest to get out there before things get too crispy.

My son read it, however. He enjoyed it, Crighton can weave a good thriller.
And that is all it is. Any statment of "Scientific fact" must be understood in its context...pulp fiction.

No scientific 'facts' were ever referred to...read the book before prejudging it.
Or not

No I did not read the book but I did get many excerpts. I discussed the book at length with my son. It is easy for a fiction writer to make statements and then hand the smoking gun to a charecter in the book.

I read the book and I thought it was very enjoyable. I like Crighton as a writer and have enjoyed some of his other books too.

Uggh, more about global warming....oh well. I guess the producers are entitled to make a movie on whatever they want.

Hey, if you guys want a good read that mixes science, adventure and natural history check out "Thunderhead" by Lincoln Child and DOuglas S. Preston. They are both experts in natural history, and they weave a good story about ancient Anasazi INdians in the wilds of the desert. Very good book.

I have read Crighton's State of Fear and found it to be a right-wing piece of propagandic trash.

I'd like to point out that it's Crichton, not Crighton. Writers are very sensitive about spelling their names.
