Michael Crichton's novels never disappoint and can be read over and over without boredom - which is good, because he is and will be much missed. State of Fear is a finely crafted novel, relevant and intriguing, especially within the context of today's news.

The Stand is one of my all-time favorite books and it could be studied as one of the finest novels by American authors.

While definitely a long book, the time invested is not wasted - it is an epic masterpiece.
