Book: Jurassic Park
Author: Michael Crichton
Pages: 466
This is my 109th read for the year
This is the story of dinosaurs brought back to life. A wealthy man has figured it out and has decided to develop a theme park with newly created dinosaurs. He invites two archeologists and a mathematician to Isla Nublar to see the park first hand before it opens to the public. However, a greedy employee wants to smuggle dinosaur DNA off the island for a large sum and when he shuts down the power to the island, the dinosaurs are not longer behind electrified fenses. The wealthy man's two grandchildren are also on the island to test the park, and when their lives and everyone's lives are in danger, the group must work together to get the power back on and leave the island.
This was a great book. I have seen the movie a lot of times, but never actually read the book. There were some differences from movie to book, but not a ton. It is a well written book and a good read. Crichton was a doctor, so there is research talk and medical jargon throughout the book, but it wasn't overly done. I will be anxious to read the next one.
Stars: 4.5
