Crichton, a medical doctor turned novelist whose books have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide, died "unexpectedly" on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a private battle with cancer, his family said.

Wow, he died young. I loved his books, movies, and even many TV series based on his writings. RIP Michael..........  :(

So young.  Very sharp writer -- his novels actually moved better than the movies made from them.

R.I.P. and prayers for the family.  He leaves a lasting legacy.
