Re: LOL at all the writing critics ITT

*raises hand* Published poet here.

My issue isn't so much with the paleontology gaffes (it was written what, 25 years ago? We've learned a few things) but more with Crichton's overhyped, formulaic, almost preachy writing. He has some good ideas ("just because you have the power to do something doesn't mean you should") but IMO can't write a gripping, read-over-and-over-again story.

On the other hand, if someone who hadn't bothered to actually practice their own profession started mischaracterizing and sensationalizing mine, I'd be pissed too.
