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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NOV 11, 1991

Bioengineers clone 15 species of dinosaurs and establish an island preserve where tourists can view the large reptiles; chaos ensues when a rival genetics firm attempts to steal frozen dinosaur embryos, and it's up to two kids, a safari guide and a paleontologist to set things right. PW called this, ``A scary, creepy, mesmerizing technothriller with teeth.''
