Great imagination, cast of characters that provide varying points of view that make you think about the possibilities.
The book was worth reading but, I enjoyed the movie much more.
The book that made me read Chricton. Also my favorite by him. Also loved Timeline and Eaters of the Dead. Great book by an author of immense talent. Knows how to tell a story without killing you with a thesaurus
You’ve seen the movie. The book is even better.
A classic! In my opinion, you have to read Jurassic Park.
Excellent author. Such original stories that I have been reading for years. Full of detail and great characters. Thrillers!
Perfect! If there were more than 5 stars, I’d use them all!
If you loved the move just kow the book is even better!
Great read

Minus one star because: Some of the scientific details could have been edited out. Also: if a large animal had just hunted down, killed and consumed another large animal to the point where …
When I first read this book, I kept a dictionary close at hand because it was hard to understand. Getting through that, it’s a great story. The characters are believable as are the situations. Just like I scream, “Don’t go into the basement” to my TV, I’m yelling at the book. I’ve read it many times and never get bored. Jurassic Park
