Better that one of my favorite movies

I’ve loved Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg for as long as I can remember. I’ve hesitated to read the book, since I misunderstood it to be written after the film and not vice versa. That’s not the case though. About the book then: it’s fantastic. The whole seconds half you’re on needles, turning page after page. I like the style of Michael’s writing too. The movie and book differs in a few way, but story- and character wise. Hammond, which is quite likable in the movie, is what I imagine the Tech Bros of this decade when they’re in their seventies. Malcom is a bit much in the book, but becomes excellent in conjunction with the movie. I’m super happy I actually gave it a shot. My best read of this year, so far.

4 stars

awesome!! im pretty sure i read the last 100 pages in about a day. never read crichton before this, but i am really impressed by jurassic park. i grew up watching the movie close to a billion times and yet the book offered a more exciting and in-depth look at the jurassic park story. i would definately reccomend this to other readers.... its a fun, quick read that covers alot of big topics.... plus lots of dinos and destruction!
