A review by akoester
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
4.0
This was my first exposure to any Jurassic Park media, and, overall, it did not disappoint! I was captivated right from the start and wanted to learn more about what was going on both on the main land and on Isla Nublar. I wasn’t expecting there to be dinosaurs on main land Costa Rica, so that was an interesting surprise.
The technical jargon and philosophical discussions about the park/project itself didn’t turn me off nearly as much as I thought it would.
What did make me roll my eyes was the younger child’s, Lexie’s, words and actions. I understand that she’s 7 or 8 years old, but she complained about being treated like a child in one breath just to complain about not being helped in the next. She was insufferable throughout, but I can give her some breathing room as she is just a child.
Overall, the book was very entertaining and makes me want to look into the Lost World.
