Loved it
Fantastic story
The OG!
A really great book. The movie is very good but the book is much better.
I read this when it first came out, and I still reread it to this day. It’s original, different and so action packed and scary, but it sure makes you think, What If??? Love this book.
Read the book first and then saw the movie which was outstanding. I bought the video and wore it out then DVD and my son and I watched it so many times Tim could say all the parts without the sound on (even Spanish). That book is so well written and spell-binding. I could hardly put it down.
Just silly & fun!
I absolutely could not put this book down until I had read it from cover to cover!
Influenced my passion for writing at a very young age! Love his writing style.
The book is even better than the movie and Jurassic Park was one of my favorite movies. This perfect blend of scifi, horror and suspense makes for Michael Crichton’s best work. RIP.
Definitely a page turners!
I think his best book.
Micheal Crichton has the best books ever. This is his greatest. Jurassic work is a great movie, and we see how that came together with this amazing book!
Better than the movie!
Michael Crichton hit another “bases loaded” home run with this book.
Classic
Read this many years ago and decided I should read again. Soooo different from the movie(s).. As always I enjoy the book more.
So haunting it can make an adult afraid of the dark. So prophetic it can make you afraid, too, of unchecked science. Coming soon to a theme park near you…
Better than the movie
Michael Creighton delivers all the time. This book keeps you entertained the entire time with some scary moments when the dinosaurs are there.
