Jurassic Park: A Novel

It's a gripping tale that explores the consequences of playing god. Its combination of adventure, ethical questions, and unforgettable characters makes it a classic. Whether you're a fan of dinosaurs or thrilling plots, this book is a must-read.

I had already seen the movies and such going into this but there were many differences, very many. Nonetheless, its still a great read and keeps you on the edge of your seat as soon as the first event happens. I also enjoyed seeing the Jurassic park universe in such detail, really gave me a good picture if what it really would have been like if dinosaurs would indeed still be around. Truely a great read for everyone and i highly reccomend this book.

I've loved the movie all my life, so I figured it was about time that I got around to reading the inspiration, this novel. I have to admit the first 80 or so pages dragged on to me, but once I got to the interesting parts [the island and the animals, and oh god, the science], I was hooked. Nothing at all like the movie, but both are wonderful in their own ways. I enjoy written word almost more than movies, sometimes, because it's fun to picture the things happening in your own head. I understand budget restrictions on movies, but the movie doesn't include half of what the book does. There are more dinosaurs, more people... Definitely recommended!
