Needs more character assasination, December 15, 2006
Reviewer: Gen. JC Christian, patriot (Tremonton, UT United States) - See all my reviews I loved the part of this book where Crichton takes his revenge on real-life DC-based political writer Michael Crowley by fictionalizing him as "Mick Crowley," a DC-based political writer who rapes a 2 year-old child. That's the kind of viciousness we've come to expect and respect from our shining stars of the ideology-over-science movement. I bet Crowley now regrets writing "Michael Crichton's Scariest Creation," for The New Republic[an].
But why stop with Crowley? Surely other writers have offended Crichton by writing about his shameless pandering to Our Leader and the Exxon-Mobile executives who serve in his kitchen cabinet. Take Chris Moody of Mother Jones for example. Why don't we see a character in "Next" named Christopher Moody who rapes nursing home patients?
And why aren't there any characters in this book who are based on Crichton's heroes, people like Sen. James Inhofe, who compared global warming scientists to Nazis. Surely, there was room for a character named Sen. Jim Inhofe, a genius of Einsteinesque proportions. Heck, if he could have pulled that off, Crichton would undoubtedly be the greatest fiction author of all time.
Elsewhere: Thingwarbler is a cheese-eating surrender monkey.
