Query: A waste of time

I have read Michael Crichton's Great Train Robbery, Prey, Lost World etc. I read the Prey before I decided to buy the State of Fear, excited that this would be a page turner too like Prey. However I was extremely disappointed with this novel, after spending x amount of hours reading 500 pages book, I feel cheated. The book has no character development, there is science too it, but that too is questionable. The facts about global warming are often repititive. Its almost that you can predict the story in first 100 pages. The character of Evans and Sarah only stands out, and the only thing you could look forward too is them falling in love, but that doesnt happen too. Lastly, the end is soo abrupt, that you feel like CRYING... its just OVER. I was so disappointed with this novel that I have decided never to read a Michael Crichton's novel again.
