Michael Crichton ....best science fiction author

No. I don't think he's the best. He's good, but the best (in my opinion) is Asimov. Or, Octavia Butler. Or, Arther C. Clark. I could keep naming names here but let me just say Michael Crichton is a really good story teller who has an awesome sense of pace. He will make my top 50 and maybe my top 20 but no higher.

yes i think so .

he used to be my favourite author in high school. haven't read his latest books for quite a while already.

Andromeda strain was probably his best book, but he has a tendency to repeat his stories over and over again. Asimov is much more original.

yeah, i love his books, i collect it too... i have sphere, jurassic park, lost world, andromeda strain and soon, il buy his other works... i love reading it and i can't wait to finish reading his book on one seating coz its really exciting... ;)

Michael Crichton is great, but have you ever read Arthur Clarke's books! They are terrific!

I prefer Isaac Asimov, have you read his work? Bill Ransom is good too.

i would agree with you .. i have liked most of his works

Yes I am also a fan of his books. I Think its difficult for me to pin point one book as the favourite one as all his books have been to my liking.I am trying to get a hold of the Novel "Next" released this year.I am sure it is as good as the earlier ones.
