It's that time of year again! Happy Holidays to everyone! Or rather, a belated Merry Christmas, as this review came out a few days later than I'd planned. Of course, it also gave me a chance to include my 100th read book this year, Stephen Fry's Victorian Secrets. This is a feature I've been hop...

Streamed this off Audible. This edition is 15:10:10 exactly and narrated by Scott Brick. I love it. That's it. Scott Brick's voice is amazing and he maintains the individual voices of each character perfectly 99.9% of the time. (I can excuse that slip on Muldoon's dialogue in that one scene becaus...

My first exposure to Jurassic Park was the first movie. After seeing that a bunch of times, I read the book. I remember liking both the movie and the book about the same, but for different reasons – the movie had great action scenes and amazing on-screen dinos (the part of me that wanted to be a pal...

BLUF: This book is exactly how you think it will be. Good, but dated.Plot: Eccentric Billionaire, John Hammond, owns a bioengineering firm which ventures into the re-creation of dinosaurs with the purpose of creating a zoo – the first of its’ kind. It’s not entertaining to have only omnivores; Hammo...

So much yes. I thought the movie was amazing.... this blows it out of the park. Crichton has such an insane way of throwing science and research into something that's fiction. I loved every second of it.

I picked this as my beach vaca read this year. Good choice me. I first read Jurassic Park in 1992-ish while in high school: pre-original movie, pre-CGI, and pre-internet. I loved it then, before anyone had given me any visuals. My imagination was all I needed. Poor Henry Wu. Today, I found just ...

This is honestly one of the most well-written books I have ever read.With enough science to balance out the suspense and thrill, this is truly a masterpiece.I will admit, I only read it because of the movie and one of my relatives had a copy laying around. But I am so glad I read it. I loved the wel...

Review en español en mi blog: Click acáI loved the Jurassic Park movie as a child but I didn't know it was based on a novel until I searched it on Goodreads. Needless to say that the book was better: a lot of awesome scenes weren't adapted to the film (or recycled and used later on Jurassic Park III...

The book is really a science fiction thriller. It has an ingenious premises of people bringing back dinosaurs to life through genetic engineering. There are a variety of flaws to the book. The one that I found personally most annoying was the character of the mathematician Malcolm. Malcolm throu...

At first I thought Crichton was one of those authors who was lucky enough to have his books converted into films until I actually discovered that Westworld began its life as a movie that was directed by Crichton. That discovery left me wondering whether this book was little more than the novelisatio...
