Why the fuck does he always have write in pedophiles? Sick bastard, I'm never reading him again.

Other than the PERVERTS , it was an amazing book, scary because it was so real. It could be happening right now

Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and Congo don't have pedophiles... :rolleyes:

Didn't read that one... And I've been trying to remember whether or not The Andromeda Strain had one.

I think the last book I read of his had one, can't think of the name at the mo, I'll look for it...
I was irritated by the fact that there was no reason for the mention in the storyline, I think most of his work is brilliant, but I will be more careful about the content of books from now on.

I was wide reaching-granted.
It truly sucks to be into a good read and have one thing ruin it though. I hate when that happens.

Call of Cthulu...really interesting. A different sort of horror. I'm digging it though.

I totally get you on that one... I just thought it was interesting because I had never heard any critiques about Crichton dwelling on paedophilia. Sorry it ruined the read for you.

I'm reading "The Tribe" by Bari Wood. It's a horror/thriller based on Jewish lore. I'm just finishing it up and it's been solid all the way through. Great story, a lot of sadness and sympathy considering the subject matter.
