APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Michael Crichton’s brilliant 1990 techno-thriller—along with the summer blockbuster franchise it spawned—is why we’re still scared of velociraptors. Jurassic Park is a modern-day Frankenstein story filled with just-plausible-enough science and jumpy scares. Set on an island where dinosaurs have been brought to life, this tale of survival is both tense and thought-provoking. Don’t worry if you’ve already seen Steven Spielberg’s movie: Crichton’s novel differs from the movie in several interesting ways, but it’s every bit as entertaining.
Customer Reviews
Best dinosaur book!
I love Jurassic park! The books are amazing and way better than the movie but I love both!!!
If you saw the movie, you need to read the book.
At first I expected the book to be pretty much like the movie but with a little more info. I was so wrong. If you have not read it yet, do your self a favour and read it. It’s the best.
Great Read
I am not an expert reader… (as an example) Tolkien was too complicated for me to finish his works. This on the other hand was magically written and not overwhelming at all. I’d recommend to anyone looking for an exciting read, arguable much better than the Movie.
