Michael Crichton
Just seen on Sky News that Michael Crichton is dead
 love reading his books and have done since I first picked up Jurassic Park when I was a kid.

Blimey. JP is one of my favourite books, having read it at the age of 14 and fair pooped myself. Very sad.

Grrr, no mention of Westworld on the BBC page.
I read Jurassic Park a fair while before the film came out and inside the cover it said that the movie rights had been sold and I remember thinking at the time that it was either going to be very good or very very bad. Luckily, it was the former. I've read a few of his books and enjoyed them all, even if Jurassic Park was basically the same as Westworld but with dinosaurs instead of cowboys  Shame. Not old really either.
