yeah I have, and like I said, couldn't stop reading it either, but I'm starting to get tired of his style. his recent books have all the same structure: there is a new technology being discovered, something goes wrong, a group of scientists (everyone with a different special skill) is sent there to repair it, but it doesn't go as planned, scientists are in trouble, some survive and some don't, at the end threat is annihinlated. This works for Jurassic Park, Lost World, Sphere, Timeline and Prey.
On the plus side, it is true you get to learn a lot, it is explained in an approacheble way, Crichton's research is well done. And there are books which escape this scheme: Great Train Robbery, 13th warrior, airframe, rising sun. But these are older ones. Recently he hasn't changed much. Nevertheless, I know I will be buying every book he is going to publish...
