would make a great movie
MUCH better than the movie!
Books have to hold my interest and this did. Was hard to put down.
One of my all- time favs
Great read
A major page turner. Could nit out it down.
Discovering a new way to recreate the dinosaurs from fossils can lead to nowhere good! Creating those same creatures to put into a park for the vacationing public to visit seems like a good idea? Scary ride of a book!
Good read
Michael Crichton delivers one of the greatest stories that was ever told. A lot of people have seen the movie, but the novel is just as epic.
Great story telling at it’s best. Of course even better than the movie, it will keep you up late reading sometimes just because you can’t put it down.
I really enjoyed this book.
Great book to read again. Book is better than the movie.
The book avoids many of the story problems found in the movie.
Very good book! Suspenseful, nonstop action, and very informative. Couldn’t put down.
The best dinosaur book of them all.
Great book like the movie
It was very original at the time of its publication, and an enjoyable read. I’m a real fan of Michael Crichton–he came up with some very different ideas for stories that you could immerse yourself in and actually feel like they could be true, although you always knew they were far out sci-fi.
A real page turner! I stayed up very late just to finish it!
I love Jurassic Park
Read it if you haven’t seen it.
