Michael Crichton


He died yesterday. I've read a few books of his most notable (for me) was The Lost World. I had seen the movie before and when I picked the book by chance, I was almost sure that  I would drop it soon as I have already seen the movie before. This is one of the few books which I didnt drop till I read the last page. Its so amazing that you are so really involved in that fascinating world.
It doesn't end here...actually and I am NOT exagerrating, back in India when you drive amongst the herd of holy cows and (not so holy) bufalloes you do feel you are trying to dodge through dinosaurs..and you drive so carefully to avoid their shit flying right on your face..//remember those shots in the movie ???

This was the first time I realized how much of a difference there is between movies and novels they are made out of.
