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.
