...also benefited from growing up in the shadow of Giants Stadium and being able to see the New York Cosmos play in the late seventies and early eighties...
...immediate sense of the feeling of daily life. The film goes out of its way to show us that, when these characters go on a long walk through the fields, they come back wet and dirty, their hems torn and stained.

His remuneration casts a consequential shadow, but the author isn't comfortable talking about it. He would sooner cogitate on those literary niggles--the charges that his characters have no depth. Back as far as The Andromeda Strain, Crichton concedes, he wasn't much for delving into character ("It didn't matter who the people were"). Still, he's human: criticism stings. "You know, I'm not very well...
