RIP Michael Crichton

When I was 12 I saw the movie Jurassic Park and it sort of blew my mind. I bought the paperback that summer and read and reread it, savoring grizzly scenes silently as my sisters sang along to the car radio. Moving on I read most of Michael Crichton's early novels which opened my young mind to physical, mental and social oddities of life. Creating keys and locks with educated experience in the medical field Crichton made them turn with phantasmagoric prose that brought dinosaurs to life and allowed me to access inner reaches of imagination.
