No Plot, No Characters, Half Sermon, Still Fun, World not Ending. Mar 08, 2010
Probably if you're a big believer in AGW, you'll find this book intensely irritating. Crichton's over-the-top portrayal of environmental terrorists is not calculated to win friends on the left -- thus 300+ one star reviews.
What irritated me more was the almost complete lack of interesting characters in the book: the lawyer hero is an ignoramus and wimp who is inexplicably attractive to a series of beautiful women, until he grows a spine and starts saving the world, half-dead and unconscious; the girls are interchangable and / or boring, never even figured out who is who; the cop / professor who leads the good guys is Crichton's mouthpiece for most of his sermons, otherwise just a guy who either kills you or drowns you in bombast; and the bad guys are all rent-a-villain from Hollywood acting, except for the cannibals, who only have one scene.
The scenery is a little better; in the mode of Hercules (I mean the Greek myth, also a thousand remakes since, such as James Bond). One fights battles in scenic locations around the world, on the theory that readers are such dullards they would get bored if they had to stay on, say, Antartica or New Guinea too long. One gets the feeling Crichton himself is suffering from jet lag. Nevertheless some of these scenes are interesting despite Crichton's skimpy descriptions.
The story, such as it is, is utterly ludicrous on many levels. Also that at times Crichton can't seem to make up his mind whether he's doing farce or tragedy.
One reason he still gets three stars is that SOME of the sermons are interesting. And that, of course, is because in some cases I'm part of the choir -- when he stresses the limits of what we know, his skepticism about primitive tribes, and of course his partial skepticism about Anthropogenic Global Warming.
Also, despite all its bad qualities, the book reads pretty well. One wants to end the thing, and one doesn't much care how it ends!
Like The Da Vinci Code, a beach novel. Crichton is far more serious about his research, however, so if you care about ideas, and about truth, the book offers much better food for thought.
 An interesting read Mar 03, 2010
I found myself completely engrossed in reading this book. As amny reviewers have stated, the subject matter is controversial, but since my views on the subject are similar to the author's, it made the book more enjoyable. In my opinion, the story flows smoothly from location to location, with plenty of action to keep the reader entertained.Overall, I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a good mystery.

Crichton on climate Feb 22, 2010
Crichton was ahead of the game on climate...a lot of his criticisms coming true. There are a lot of books out there on both sides of the climate debate that are more rigorous, but State of Fear is an easy read and good overview.

 Interesting take on Global Warming Feb 15, 2010
I highly recommend this book to get some balance on the global warming propaganda, especially in view of recent news reports of scientists fudging temperature data. As a novel, it is somewhat bland and predictable (reads more like a screenplay), but really makes you think if the science behind climate change is pushing a political agenda

State of Fear Feb 12, 2010
State of Fear is a fast-pace adventure story regarding scientists' stand on global warming and how the government influences that.
It is a great story and I highly recommend it.
