Gawd, that's it exactly! Yes, he doesn't books at all, just poorly written screenplays badly adapted to novel format.
And it's true, I read The English Patient, then saw the movie which was so different than the book, then re-read the book and it was great.
With Crichton, even just finishing a first pass makes my brain bleed!
Thanks for clearing that up for me, in now makes perfect sense. Regardless, I'll still never read another Crichton novel, life's just too short...
Peace,
