I read this one about 6.5 months ago. Obviously, a solid book. We all know the movie is great so it was expected that the book would be enjoyable. It was fun getting a little deeper look at this original story and seeing where things were different from the movie. It had a whole lot of scientific explanations throughout which was fine, but I could have used a tad bit more excitement and action like there is in the movie. Sometimes it just felt like the setup was drawn out and the payoff not as big as it could have been in parts. Probably another book that suffers from the unavoidable bias I have when I already know the story and unconsciously judge the book against the movie. Oh well. It was an enjoyable book and fun to read. I need to read more Crichton.
Michael Crichton books ranked:
- The Great Train Robbery
- Jurassic Park
