great story its interesting to see what was missing from the first jurassic park movie adaptation
naturally the book's better more character development cirten characters who survive in the movie adaptation do not in the book so it makes me wonder what's different from the next book and its movie adaptation

Like a lot of Crichton novels, all of the things happening at the beginning of the book, before the plot really kicks in, are important. The mysterious reptile bites, the lizard that looks like a dinosaur, the paleontologist in Montana, stuff like that.
Jurassic Park is wonderful example of science and money going far far too far. Recreating dinosaurs through incomplete DNA and making them into a theme park, like a zoo, with no thought as to what would happen should disaster strike. And disaster does strike, with several things happening at the same time - corporate espionage, a massive thunderstorm, and conclusive evidence that there are far far more dinosaurs in Jurassic Park than expected - catching everyone on the island in a fight or flight for their lives.
I remember reading Jurassic Park a few years ago, and it holds up remarkably well on a re-read. I did not like the grandchildren, and thought that they took away from the story. Especially since all they do is complain and cause problems. Compared to the grandchildren, Malcolm was a wonderful character (he's also very right and people should take him seriously).

lots of cursing. i dont think f though. there is stuff like s 12 time in a row, although i do suppose that a person used to cursing would be saying things like that if they were facing the unavoidable, bloody death of themselves or another person.
