Have found my first movie is better then the book instance. Book was good but too wordy and technical. Could read too much in one sitting until I got to the end. Also there were way too many characters and Hammond was an even bigger idiot then he was on the big screen. Glad I read it but will be sto...

Never a disappointment to science fiction fans, I have found that Crichton's novels are always the quality readers want to read and writers want to achieve.

I'm pretty sure most people know the story by now, but if you don't, here goes nothing. An eccentric millionaire finds the funding and technology to clone dinosaurs, which he plans on turning into a tourist attraction. The government is suspicious about his motives because of some biotechnology comp...

The Jurassic Park movie was better. The book was too technical for me.

I read this book when I was about twelve or thirteen, shortly after seeing the movie for the first time. I really loved the movie, and still like the movies, actually. But as always, the book is better. I do like that the movie showed me what the book couldn't. I'm not one of those people that gripe...
