Didn’t Like It1 of 2 members found this review helpful “Terrible. He should have just written a quick 5 page essay on the holes in the global warming theory. To try and expand it into a 300 page "novel" was a bad idea. The "book" is more of a lecture and has bad characters, bad dialog, ridiculous plot, Crichton writes another stinkbomb.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I didn't finish this book because I hate suspense thrillers. Only started it because I'm a knuckle dragging, global warming denier.”

“This book may change your mind about global warming, not to mention how the media spins practically all scientific research. Will make an excellent movie, although I didn’t really enjoy the main character. Sure, he’s a lawyer and not used to all this adventure… but I read books to escape, not to join the travels of a seemingly whiny person afraid to get a little dirt on his pants. Filled with action, and the girls really kick-butt! Lots of science too.”

“Global Warming the threat to the entire world, or is it. As eco-terrorists plot devestation across the planet to bring awareness to the masses of our impending doom, a small group finds themselves in the path of destruction to try and stop these terrorists.

I always enjoy Crichton's work and this was no exception but I did feel he was trying almost too hard to bring awareness to certain fields of science that at times became almost too much information and not enough story. But overall a good book that once again like most Crichton books makes you look at a certain topic or area of science in a whole new way.”
“OK reading for a long plane trip (was the cheapest book I could find the Frankfurt Airport) but otherwise .....”

“I'm typically a fan of Crichton, but the way he wrote "State of Fear" was not intriguing. Each chapter (for awhile) was in another setting with different people, and yes there was of course a common thread, but overall there are so many characters and things being talked about that I simply didn't care to analyze it. I did not finish this book primarily because I don't like the way it was written, I don't care to read about environmental issues, and its also over 500 pages, which is fine if the book is vaguely intersting, but its not. If you like Crichton, you may or may not like this one, you just have to give it a shot. I'm sure it's a great book, most of his are, I just didn't care for the subject matter enough.”

“Tipical Michael Crichton. Very scientific story with much data and many charts thrown in. He actually made me change some of my thinking about global warming. All this while telling an entertaining action filled story. Not great literature, but fun.”
