Jurassic Park

While the book might be a little detail heavy in parts, the story was incredible. As a long time fan of the movies, reading this book gave me a new appreciation for parts that weren’t fully explained. The story is vastly different from the movie, and worth a read. If you are a fan, you will like this book!

It was very different from the movie in a great way, I wish the movie had done it justice

I honestly believe this is the greatest book ever written. From the detail to the science to the description and of the dinosaurs this book is simply not matched. Michael is fantastic thank you for this piece of inspirational art!

Shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone - the books are always better. But this was phenomenal, I finished in two days. Onto the Lost World!

Upon revisiting this book at the age of 31, I was struck by its enduring relevance. The author’s masterful storytelling and profound exploration of complex themes make it a timeless classic. While Michael Crichton’s writing predates many of the scientific concepts discussed in the book, such as chaos theory and the influence of genetics on modern science, the characters’ insightful perspectives remain pertinent today. The book prompts contemplation on the ethical implications of technological advancements and scientific progress. In contrast to the film adaptation, the book’s graphic depiction of violence and gore is far more intense, leaving the reader with a sense of unease and curiosity about how certain scenes would have been portrayed on screen. Crichton’s exceptional ability to captivate the reader’s attention and imagination is evident throughout the narrative. The inclusion of dinosaur elements in the book is highly satisfying, evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity. The author’s vivid descriptions transport the reader to a prehistoric world, leaving them yearning for more. I intend to read his next work of literature titled,“The Lost World” to explore the author’s further exploration of dinosaurs and their impact on human life within the Jurassic Park universe! This book is highly recommended for enthusiasts of dinosaurs and science fiction, as well as anyone seeking an engaging and imaginative read that transcends the limitations of television.

I was a big fan of the movie but the book was a social commentary about the dangers of entrepreneurial endeavors utilizing cutting edge scientific discoveries.

It's the best book I have ever read! If only the movie was this GOOD!

This is so cool better than the Jurassic Park movies. It’s the detail that Michael Creighton puts in and the imagination comes to life just a blast

After thinking about this for a little while, the book is so much better than the movie. Due to emerging tech, the fact that Jurassic Park was possible is a feat that will always remembered, but the book is so good. There’s a big biotech angle, so prepare for that, but it’s so good. It’s a must read.

Great book. I don’t like the lizards though! They’re creepy. And mean!! And too smart; babies-at night-I thought they were just biting?!??!!? Now they’re eating?!?!!!!?! But anyways I haven’t actually finished the book yet, I’ll update this when I do!
