A review by lalawoman416
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

5.0

Having watched the movie long before I ever read the book, I had forgotten it was Michael Crichton. So I love "The Andromeda Strain." One of my favorite books, actually. And this book, stylistically, starts very much like TAS. The movie leaves out all the deliciousness of the first 10% of the book - the slow build of trying to figure out what is happening. Of course, I knew what was happening and it was very frustrating to see so many people miss so many signs! The thing is, I LOVED the movie. But even with this movie I can honestly say THE BOOK WAS BETTER! The book was awesome. So much more detailed. So many more questions answered. And, it was different enough from the movie that it was still suspenseful. Looking forward to more books in the series.

Wait, there WAS one negative part throughout the book. Lexi. I really wanted a dinosaur to eat her.
