Query: Pandering to the Movie Makers

I have liked some of Mr. Crichton's books. When he writes a book, he is very good. When he writes a screenplay, he is not. Some of his books are obviously written so that they can be turned into movies. This is one of them, which is why the plot is predictable, the characters stereotyped, and the action so unending. Don't get me wrong, I like action, but it seemed that it was being added just to keep the book going, and to satisfy possible movie makers and not because it was needed in the story. OK...parts of this were good, like when he described the way people and things were in the Middle Ages. However, that wonder went away when the book descended into a screenplay. Get this book from a library if you must, but spend your money elsewhere.
