Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton: Welcome to Jurassic Park (505 words)
by - written on 02/05/10 (Very useful, 39 readings)
Rating:

I must admit, I have watched the movie by Steven Spielberg countless times (and enjoyed it each and every time), first time in cinema but only a few days ago I have read the book for the first time (shame on me). Book was written by Michael Chrichton which y itself gives the reader some good hope about the book since he is well known to be an author that does his homework. He always researches the subject he is writing on to such detail that his books could easily get some educational value as well (not 100% though some elements are purely fictional or not likely to be possible). The novel takes place in the present and most of it goes on a island ...  Read the complete review

Micheal Crichton - Jurassic Park I absolutely loved all of the Jurassic Park movies, and as with most movies the first was the best, and this book is pretty good too. Published in 1988 by Century Jurassic Park was very famous and had a large fan-base, the book was no different many who read it loved it. I remember watching the film from 1993 which made me really want to find and read the book aswell because of how much I enjoyed the plot. The book i read had so many technical diagrams and things which really appealed to me, and made me get really stuck into the reading. There is a lengthy introduction which is not really essential and some people I ...  Read the complete review

Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton: Awesome Book (197 words)

Rating:

I should think the vast majority of us have heard about and watched the film Jurassic Park. The film itself was groundbreaking stuff and I remember being really excited at going to see it. The film itself is classed as a PG, which is suitable for children, however the book is definately aimed at us adults. I bought the book whilst abroad on holiday, and only bought it because it was one of the few that I recognised. I didn't expect to enjoy it that much as I'd already seen the film and therefore knew the plot, but boy, was I surprised. The book is a hundred times better than the film, it's much scarier with much more going on in it than ...  Read the complete review

Better than the film! (338 words)

Rating:

Like most people (probably!), I saw Spielberg's vision of Jurassic Park before regressing to Crichton's original. Essentially the plot is as follows: A wacky old guy (John Hammond) runs a company which has realised that the DNA of dinosaurs is extractable from bloodsucking mosquitoes who have been preserved in amber for millions of years. This DNA is extracted and, with a little help from frog DNA, his company have been able to revive the dinosaur race. He decides to operate a giant dinosaur theme/safari park, where the visitors travel around in electric landrovers on preordained routes, viewing the dinosaurs from behind giant fences. To make ...  Read the complete review
