50 Books

A cute book about a little baby whale.  Not the most exciting, but not terrible.

Not my all time favorite, but still good.  It seemed kind of like a Michael Connelly book since it was more of a cop book. I still enjoyed it though, and now I really just have Crichton’s John Lange books and then I am done with his books forever… it’s a sad thought. :(

It started off kind of slow, but like I always say, never doubt Michael Crichton.  I couldn’t put it down.  This book could make such a great movie too.  I just don’t understand how one man could come up with ideas like this.  This was a bit different than his other books, but just as awesome as all the other ones.

Excellent read! It was slightly boring at parts, but all in all I’m glad I read it. I love the way they make connections that no one else could ever see, but are totally understandable. Definitely recommend this one.

A great read!  Some comments by critics bothered me a bit, though.  Better than Crichton?!! I think not!  He basically copied the writing style that Crichton had.  It’s easy to copy.  It was a very good book though, and I’m sure he did a lot of research because it was very well written.  And I love dinosaurs…  but no, he is not even close to being better than Crichton.  One good book does not overrule a lifetime of great literature!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnddd back to MC!  This one was another that I just could not put down!  Crichton is just so addicting, he knows how to keep the reader turning the page for more.  If you’ve read any of his book, you know that he usually follows a few different characters at the same time.  Each chapter is normally pretty short, and each chapter is about a different character so you need to keep reading if you want to hear what happened to a certain person.  He always ALWAYS does this too, which drives me CRAZY!  Crichton will do this thing where a character has a revelation at the end of the chapter, except that the revelation is not actually revealed to the audience.  And then the chapter ends.  And then the next chapter is about a different character, and the next one is also about a different character… etc. etc. SO HE FORCES ME TO KEEP READING IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE REVELATION WAS!  It happened at least five times in this book.  But that’s why I love him!

This one was definitely as good as everyone said it was.  It had me crying at parts, had me laughing, had me contemplating my own life.  A very inspirational story from a very inspirational man.  I highly recommend it.

Yes, I was seriously on a MC run during the beginning of the year.  His books are just so addicting.  This one took me a while to get through… I don’t know, I guess I’m more interested in the crazy sci-fi books he writes as opposed to the historical fiction.  It was still good, just slow in some parts.

I also thought this one might be kind of boring, but it definitely was not!  He never fails to surprise me… Crichton includes so much scientific language in his novels, but somehow still makes them understandable to the average readers such as me.  LOVE HIM SO SO SO MUCH.

Way different than MC’s books usually are!  This is the one that he was working on editing when he passed away.  I always enjoy pirate books so this was a good read.  There was not as much science-fiction stuff in the book as I would have thought but I still thoroughly enjoyed.  The first couple chapters were a bit boring but it definitely picked up!
