Review
By now, most people have seen the movie adaption of Jurassic Park. I think it's safe to say it was well liked and memorable. The original novel is so much more. With more background, more authentic (if not always easily understood) science and lots of detailed description that paints a picture more fantastic than the film's special effects could ever hope to reproduce, Jurassic Park is a book not to be missed. Action, adventure, dinosaurs, DNA, cloning, ethical/moral dilemmas and so much more, Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park cannot be completely appreciated without reading this book.
