Summary: Cadavers, Kilimanjaro, and physic auras, oh my!
Comment: This is book was incredible! Crichton's days as a medical student are humorous and thought-provoking, his globe-trotting is exotic and awe-inspiring, and his psychic adventures left me with a whole new vocabulary of chakras, auras, etc.
The amazing med school stories are great, which is no surprise since he's written Five Patients and is the creator of ER. The travelling stories were interesting because they seemed believable. Tourbook, camera, sore feet ... I can relate to this guy a lot better than a Hemingway-type figure.
I don't know if I'm going to go out and talk to cacti or fluff my aura anytime soon, but I thought Crichton's journies of the world and the soul were amazing. This is probably among the least-known of his books, but definitely a must read.

Summary: Fact is as interesting as fiction.
Comment: This is an excellent book about a man that has lived an exciting and experiencial life. Some times I had to remind myself that I was reading a true story and not just another fictional story by Michael Crichton. The middle section of his book is the most interesting and entertaining. The first section about his years as a medical student is interesting at times but too long and detailed. His last chapter "speech" I believe really didn't need to be included. He should have let the readers judge his experiences for themselves rather than preach to them. What I really enjoyed was his travels whether to far off lands or to the exploration of his mind. His writing is such that you really get to know him and you feel almost that you are in Michael's home listening him tell you about his life. The best part of this story though was his willingness to expose himself showing that he was like everyone else in making bad judgements, mistakes, and sometimes even acting like a jerk. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to open their mind to all the possibilities out there.

Summary: Horrible
Comment: Boring and rediculous! Crichton experiences are laughably irrational and I was horrified that such a brilliant man would do the most illogical and bizzare things. He scares me.
