About this title

Review:

Unless your species evolved sometime after 1993, when Jurassic Park hit theatres, 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 a hold of sci-fi classic The Andromeda Strain for that), Jurassic Park fills out the film version's kinetic storyline 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, Amazon.com

Review:

"Crichton's most compulsive novel to date" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Breathtaking adventure... a book that is as hard to put down as it is to forget" (Time Out)

"Wonderful ... powerful" (Washington Post)

"Full of suspense" (New York Times)
