Michael Crichton - Jurassic Park

Jurassic ParkJurassic Park by Michael Crichton

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is my first Crichton read, so please tell me if he has better books. One of the smaller themes in the plot seemed to sum up the book for me: only children and paleontologists really care about dinosaur facts. In my opinion, this book could have been 50-100 pages shorter in order to keep my interest. My bias was sealed when I realized that I was happy to see illustrations eating up pages.

As a positive, the book has a better, more credible ending than the movie.
