State of Fear - Michael Crighton







I got this book thinking that its Crichton, what could go wrong? His books have been going downhill over the years and this is definitely at the bottom. Crichton has officially gone 'Green'. This book felt more and more like propaganda. The underlying message is that global warming is a hoax and that totally gets hammered in again and again and again.

The positive note is that everything he tries to get across is very well documented and referenced, I almost came away believing that global warming isn't real but thats besides the point. I wanted to read a scientific fiction novel, something exciting and complex, something Crichton. This just isn't it.
