Michael Crichton's fictions

I have read few fictions of Michael Crichton and very impressed with his writing skills. He keeps one totally engrossed with the story.

Jurassic Park, The Lost World, The Terminal Man, Eaters of the Dead, Timeline, State of Fear, The Andromeda Strain are some of his fictions that I have read and liked all of these.

I have also seen some movies that are based on his novels, but truely speaking the thrill that I experienced while reading the novels was much greater than watching the movie :-)
