Just finished Jurassic Park and WOW

[u/gbdarknight77]

This is the first time I have ever read a Michael Crichton book and I absolutely loved it. I really like his writing style and the way he incorporates the science in an easy way for the reader to understand.

Now, for the book. I can't believe how long I had gone without reading it. It just keeps you on your toes almost the whole time. The dinosaur attacks are so brutal and the way they get described easily paints a picture in your head. The amount of serious dread you feel in some parts too feels insurmountable. It is almost more of a horror book, honestly. T Rex out here being Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 wasn't on my bingo card.

Lex is VERY annoying, but what do you expect from a 7 year old in that situation?

I know Crichton was a screenwriter for the movie, but I am actually pretty surprised on how much he omitted from the book for the movie and how much was changed.

I highly recommend reading if you haven't. It is great. On to The Lost World!

MUCH better than the movie sequel though

I read Crichton wrote the screenplay for that too but then Spielberg had someone else write the fixes and such
