State of Fear Review

 It was one of the last few weeks of the summer. I finished buying  all my books online and was now waiting for all of them to be shipped to me. I received all my textbooks, none being a huge surprise, mostly filled with content and pictures and all of the standard length a textbook should be. Then I got to a small but decently shaped square box. I opened it up and saw that it was the State of Fear. I picked up the book, turned it to the side, and opened it to the last page dreading what the numerical result would be. I have never in my life read a book that was seven hundred and ninety-eight pages long! I was in shock and when I heard we'd have to have it done in a weeks worth time I started panicing a little because I can't sit and read two hundred pages  in one sitting. So I started the book this week to get ahead of the game, and I must say the terror of the book has definitely calmed down. Eventhough it is a long read it is by far one of the most interesting books I've read. I'm loving the scientific base and how the conflict of the story keeps rising. I find myself sometimes even losing track of time because I'm so into it. I'm glad we are studying Michael Crichton and reading his works because I have found him to be an extremely interesting and entertaining author as well as a director.
