Brightwaters Book Reviews ,

Read this book!

Way better than the movie.

Katsghostie ,

Grew up with the movies. Finally read the book!

Whoa. As someone who does not read often, I was surprised at how quickly I became immersed by this book.

Crichton does a great job of utilizes illustrations of computer graphs and screens in key parts. I felt like I was looking over Dr. Grants shoulder, learning about these creatures in real time.

The story we all know and love takes a while to get started. The characters from the movie don’t get introduced till a third of the way in- persevere though! Once everything starts falling apart, it definitely gets exciting.

10/10

Hold onto your butts

Modern classic for a reason. First time rereading in almost 30 years and it was still a thrilling experience.
