Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

Jurassic Park (Jurassic Park, #1) (Trace & Colour Books) (Look-look Books) (Deluxe Sticker Fun S.) (Paint 'n' Marker Books) (The Colouring Books)

by Michael Crichton

On a remote jungle island, genetic engineers have created a dinosaur game park.

An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Now one of mankind's most thrilling fantasies has come true and the first dinosaurs that the Earth has seen in the time of man emerge.

But, as always, there is a dark side to the fantasy and after a catastrophe destroys the park's defence systems, the scientists and tourists are left fighting for survival...

With this masterful cross of science fiction and action-adventure, Michael Crichton created one of the biggest bestsellers of all time, turned by Steven Spielberg into the highest grossing blockbuster ever in 1993.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I was worried that it might be a bit science or technology heavy for my taste but it really wasn't. Listening to the audio was a great choice.

The story was an amazing adventure. Not surprisingly it was even better than the movie. [Though I think the movie did make some wise decisions. Namely, ageing up Lex.]

I can't wait to listen to another Crichton [or a book narrated by Brick.]
