What a ride!
5By Montgomery88It's the best book I have ever read! If only the movie was this GOOD!A must read book for a adventure
5By spaceboy 700This is so cool better than the Jurassic Park movies. It’s the detail that Michael Creighton puts in and the imagination comes to life just a blastThrilling and unexpected
5By DemocratCatAfter thinking about this for a little while, the book is so much better than the movie. Due to emerging tech, the fact that Jurassic Park was possible is a feat that will always remembered, but the book is so good. There’s a big biotech angle, so prepare for that, but it’s so good. It’s a must read.🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻🥳
5By minecraftissupercool😁Great book. I don’t like the lizards though! They’re creepy. And mean!! And too smart; babies-at night-I thought they were just biting?!??!!? Now they’re eating?!?!!!!?! But anyways I haven’t actually finished the book yet, I’ll update this when I do!Absolutely worth it!
5By pineapplebookwormThis book completely captures the love and fear of these creatures on the island and my imagination was completely blown away; especially for a fan of the movie series like myself. Definitely recommend for a fellow reader with an appreciation for the series or a drive for these creatures.Loved it!
5By Sippa_TI'm not an avid reader, but I killed this book in about 10 sittings. I'd read it for hours! Personally, I even thinj if you have watched the movie first, and then you read the novel, you'll like the novel so much more! The way that Michael Crichton describes and fills you in on the general science of paleontology is a great part of the momentum of the story!A masterpiece!
5By 130JBabyAn excellent book where science and imagination come together for a Jurassic thrill ride! Explosive storytelling brings this book to life and will keep you on the edge of your seat.4.5
4By nnaaahhhh4.5Better than the movie tbh
5By Ac96Just when you think you know what happens next the story takes decent twists , u highly recommend this read!4.5/5
5By Kmorales27Awesome book, i wish we could give half ratings. I am always for agreement with books versus movies but I’m glad they changed Lex up in the classic movie. She was very annoying and at times made me want to stop reading.
