anastaciaknits 's review for:
Jurassic Park
by Michael Crichton
What a fantastic ride!
I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed this. It is similar to the movie - which I am a huge fan of - but is definitely different enough to hold your interest. There's a lot of science mumbo jumbo which I admittedly didn't understand half of, but it was fascinating all the same & I'm sure they dumbed down the science as best they could. I was greatly amused by all the computer talk, as computers have changed just so, so much in the last twenty five years. I definitely got my geek on reading this book! I wasn't enough finished reading this one, and I had already requested the next one from the library.
It's ironic, too, because I remember when the movie first came out, I tried getting through the book & hated it - I hated all the science and computer talk, and that was what amused me so much this read through.
I just couldn't believe how confident everyone was throughout the book, just so damned smug that they knew what they were doing - and then the dinosaur ate them. Good times.
Definitely a must read for dinosaur fans!
