Ignorant arsehole... :roll:

You missed whiskers on kittens, and brown paper packages tied up with strings, surely.

Edit: Nuts, you did say "Two of..".

Was Congo the book better than the film

The African dictator guy was funny though 'Stop Eating my Sesame cake!'

The Lost World was a brilliant book too, gooseberry fools all over the film.

He wrote Rising Sun as well which also got movieised though it wasn't really anything special. I liked his books, I read Jurassic Park and the Lost World ages ago and thought he was a good writer. A real shame the election pretty much buried the news of his ill health.

Thank you for creating the dinosaurs.

Must've been from embarrassment of the "Next" film being so awful.

R.I.P in peace.

I heard this last night. Didn't even know he was ill? Another person dies because of cancer.

RIP Michael.

Shame though. I used to enjoy his books as a kid.

Very true. Its a shame he is dead, but his books were rubbish, quite frankly.

I really enjoyed Airframe, it really shows why he was a great writer. It should be a really dry story, no dinosaurs, murder etc. just about a company investigating an aircraft malfunction. But it's generally gripping.

I think Jurassic Park and ER will be his legacy though.
