    I'm not an avid reader, but I killed this book in about 10 sittings. I'd read it for hours! Personally, I even thinj if you have watched the movie first, and then you read the novel, you'll like the novel so much more! The way that Michael Crichton describes and fills you in on the general science of paleontology is a great part of the momentum of the story!
  • A masterpiece!

    Awesome book, i wish we could give half ratings. I am always for agreement with books versus movies but I’m glad they changed Lex up in the classic movie. She was very annoying and at times made me want to stop reading.

    Jurassic Park, is a thrilling read from start to finished. The characters are throughly fleshed out, all feeling different and unique from one another. Humans coming in contact with dinosaurs is just as exciting and gruesome as one might think. Although, some encounters seem more realistic than others. Overall, if you love dinosaurs, thrillers, or enjoyed them film at all. I think there is something here for everyone to enjoy.
  • Excellent read

    Hi everyone, I’ve always loved the Jurassic park movies but then one day my dad told me there where books, so I got the book as soon as I can so I can read it and I found it much better then the movie. I will say usually I’m not a big fan of violence but I didn’t care because the story line is so great I just finished the book today and I’m happy with the ending
