Book Review of State of Fear

State of Fear
State of Fear
Author: Michael Crichton
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Book Type: Mass Market Paperback
reviewed An exciting and thoughtful read on
Helpful Score: 1


I am concerned that some of these reviews have missed Crichton's main point. To me he was saying that environmental issues are complex, poorly understood, and frequently manipulated for short term political and financial gain. For the thoughtful reader, I think his book will help us to see how we have been "managed" by powerful people who instill a "State of Fear". Perhaps when we become less fearful, we will become more free. Give it a read and give it some thought.
