Amazon.com reviews:

Rating: 3 Summary: Not Crichton's best
Comment State of fear is not Crichton's best work. I found the "thriller" to be some what boring and lacking in suspence, and I struggled to finish the book. Crichton's message that global warming is a farce seems outdated and foolish.

Rating: 5 Summary: Great read, thought provoking
Comment In this book, Michael Crichton gives a view of the idea of "global warming", that we NEVER hear in the media. The documented data he presents is VERY eye opening to how much we really do live in a state of fear unnecessarily and how the media, political scene and others spend billions to keep us misinformed, afraid and duped.

Read this book no matter which side of the fence you are on. It is NOT delusional or libertarian.

Thanks,Mr.Crichton for writing this book.

Rating: 5 Summary: Hard time putting the book down!
Comment My sister recommended this book. I wish I'd saved it for vacation! It is very timely and sheds a different light on global warming. I liked that he backed up his information with actual studies. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Michael Crichton.

Rating: 5 Summary: Tech savvy author doesn't disappoint
Comment Crighton is one of those rare people who can describe highly technical things clearly enough for those who don't speak the language. I just read this book again, and had forgotten some of the global warming babble that is followed like a religion. This novel clearly presents the story, the evidence and the research. If you have an open mind, you may be surprised.

Rating: 5 Summary: Fun to read and will challenge your beliefs
Comment Interesting, thought-provoking and easily readable. Recommended for any Crichton fans or environmentally conscious fiction readers. Not for the die-hard Al Gore/global-warming-hysteria supporters.
