APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Michael Crichton’s brilliant 1990 techno-thriller—along with the summer blockbuster franchise it spawned—is why we’re still scared of velociraptors. Jurassic Park is a modern-day Frankenstein story filled with just-plausible-enough science and jumpy scares. Set on an island where dinosaurs have been brought to life, this tale of survival is both tense and thought-provoking. Don’t worry if you’ve already seen Steven Spielberg’s movie: Crichton’s novel differs from the movie in several interesting ways, but it’s every bit as entertaining.
Customer Reviews
Read this book!
Way better than the movie.
Thrilling and unexpected
After thinking about this for a little while, the book is so much better than the movie. Due to emerging tech, the fact that Jurassic Park was possible is a feat that will always remembered, but the book is so good. There’s a big biotech angle, so prepare for that, but it’s so good. It’s a must read.
