Author Biography

I think before start writing about the novel, it might be better to know just a little but or maybe a lot about the author John Michael Crichton. This might be really short or it might not be as detailed as you wished but in the end what is really important for the moment is just to mention some aspects about his life and also some other of his novels so you might start reading them.
