I’ve always known that Jurassic Park was about dinosaurs but I never watched or read it. But one day, my mom borrowed the books from the library and I happened to pick it up, start reading the book and couldn’t put it down.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is an amazing thriller book as well as a fantastic science fiction novel on cloning animals. The book is much like the movie, with a few changes, but very much the same plot. The book focuses on an amusement park made by a man named John Hammond who has discovered a way to clone animals, even extinct ones, from a strand of DNA. Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler, both paleontologists, are recruited by Hammond, and travel to Isla Nubler, the home of Jurassic Park. There they meet the crew. The paleontologists and others are unsure about the park idea but the employees insist that nothing can go wrong and that the dinosaurs are safe. One man, though, has other ideas.

What I loved most about this book is how the author managed to describe every detail and brought it to life, as if he meant for it to become a movie. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a thrilling and adventurous book.
