Reviews

The book is better. Mostly, I found a lot of similarities between the book and the movie, except towards the end 1/3 of the book. It’s hard to write a review of the book when I grew up with the movie as my main point of reference.

Anyway, the scenes in the book are much more gruesome than the movie. The characters are much more sinister, especially Nedry and Hammond. Overall, I would recommend this book.

this is my wife's hyperfixation so I had to read it finally so I knew what she was going on about. already loved this authors writing so it certainly wasn't a hardship. very sexy very cool, loved Malcolm's speeches.
