Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, that was fun and science heavy. I guess I've watched the movies before and never really read the book, so it seemed like time.

The book is far less horrifying to me than the movie, but I startle very easily and have a bad scream reflex. So me watching the movie is far more dramatic than me reading the book, even though the book also has a certain level of stress and suspense.

I liked it.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

Guys! I've loved the movie since it came out and I decided that it was finally time to read the book. It was great! A lot of differences from the movie that adds to the story and Crichton really knows how to keep the tension going. The only thing I missed was the little DNA cartoon guy simply explaining the scientific process that brought the dinosaurs to life. Crichton did his homework and gives a lot of detail of the creation of the dinos but, as someone who has a general understanding of genetics, I felt that the scientific rants bored me. Get me back to the dinosaurs!

The movie still holds up on his own, but I think this book is definitely worth a read for any Jurassic Park fan.

Rating 4.5/5
