Crichton's Jurassic Park is a gripping and terrifying exploration of whether science should do something just because it can. Crichton heavily critiques the arrogance of scientists, corporations, and billionaires in developing products without ethic, a parallel that powerfully resonates in our modern day. Be warned, the novel is much darker than the film, but just as thrilling and thought-provoking.
Graphic: Animal death, Body horror, Death, Gore, and Violence
Minor: Sexism and Sexual harassment
The character, Dr. Ellie Sattler, is described in objectified ways or is outright objectified by other male characters.
