The original, well written, better than the movie. Highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy
After i saw the movie, i went and read the book.
Loved it even more.
Excellent! So much better than the movies! Fast-paced,hard to put down.
An author who’s also a scientist ? Or the opposite? Great read.
An engrossing and fun read from the first page!
Great techno-thriller. Chrichton’s characters are so well defined and relateable.
Excellent read.
He just never wrote a bad book.
The first and still the best!
The book that started it all! A great read!
Amazingly original story. One of my favorites.
This book will always be the best i had ever read. This is the book that introduced me to the works of Michael Critton. Just the shear explanation of the scenery alone makes you feel as if you’re there.
Oddly, the movie was better.
Read this after I saw the first movie, and it was so much better than the movie which was great on its own. He was an excellent story-teller
Kept my interest
Great fun.
Great book. I read this book for the first time when it was first published. Knew that, in the appropriate director’s hands, it would make a terrific movie and was proven correct in my assessment. I can say that without doubt the book is better than the movie. Highly recommend.
was disappointed in this book. not as riviting as his other books
Yep, it’s a must read.
Awesome!
