Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you can accept the science behind Crichton's position, or at least set the message aside, you can enjoy this book no matter where you stand.
Review: State Of Fear is Michael Crichton's thriller about global warming, and the politics that surround it. Although Crichton clearly has some strong views on the subject, and his primary intent seems to have been to air those views, it is to his credit...

Michael Crichton debunks the environmentalist culture of Fear

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: An excellent read, with meaty issues addressed throughout. Minor weaknesses aside, this is a recommended read.
