because ultimately everything he's written is forgettable. He wrote the same techno-thriller over and over and because it's easy to digest it became a good template for movies but other than that there's nothing really about any of his books that'd make you read them more than once.
- vlunkr 4y agoI don’t know, if the books are so forgettable why are we talking about them decades after they were published?
- Barrin92 4y agowe mostly talk about Crichton as an author rather than about the actual contents of the books. He's "famous for being famous", sort of like Madonna. look at the article we're commenting on which like almost all Crichton pieces talks about his success and sales rather than talking about his work at all.
- tomcam 4y agoNot forgettable to me. I find his books vivid and fulfilling even after many reads.
