I love dinosaurs and I love Dr. Grant!!! I cannot believe how different this is from the movie and I can’t wait to see what the other books are about???

As a lover of the movies, I was let down by the quality of descriptive writing. I wanted so much more in terms of the vivid descriptions the characters experienced.

As always Micheal Crichton is always good. It would have been an easy 5star if I had not watched the movie first

4.5 ⭐ to Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.
Firstly let me say this was a really great buddy read with Meg from Tome Infinity (check her channel out).
Onto the book, I love it! Very much like the film but with just enough to make it different and unpredictable, the characters are ones we know well and so is the plot so I won't go over tgam but I will say I loved the relationship between Dr Grant, Tim and Lex.
Chrichton has a very detailed and analytical writing style that not everyone will enjoy, because of this in parts this book was slow, luckily I like getting plenty of detail so I enjoyed those parts to!
If your a fan of them film you need to read this book, even if your not this is a great science fiction read!
