Book Reviews of Jurassic Park
Book Review: Ballin` Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was amazing and I recommend it to anybody 10 and up. It was better than the movie and very different. Very descriptive and sometimes too descriptive (graphic guts and gore). This tale is one of the best books and a classic at its best. I`m on Lost World and it`s as interesting as its brother. Dinos are awesome!
Summary of Jurassic Park
An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Creatures once extinct now roam Jurassic Park, soon-to-be opened as a theme park. Until something goes wrong...and science proves a dangerous toy...."Wonderful...Powerful."
THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
Unless your species evolved sometime after 1993 when Jurassic Park hit theaters, you're no doubt familiar with this dinosaur-bites-man disaster tale set on an island theme park gone terribly wrong. But if Speilberg's amped-up CGI creation left you longing for more scientific background and ... well, character development, check out the original Michael Crichton novel. Although not his best book (get ahold of sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain for that), Jurassic Park fills out the film version's kinetic story line with additional scenes, dialogue, and explanations while still maintaining Crichton's trademark thrills-'n'-chills pacing. As ever, the book really is better than the movie. --Paul Hughes
