LoisSusan | Dec 10, 2020 |  The elaborate security measures are down! Dinosaurs have escaped! Lovable characters are being hunted! Annoying characters are being eaten! The only gun on the island capable of stopping a T-Rex is missing! Read more here (  ) StorybookCat | Nov 30, 2020 | This was a lot of fun! I don't especially enjoy movies and actually hadn't seen the movie version of this, so though I obviously knew the basic premise I didn't know the specific plot points. Dinosaur-obsessed billionaire Hammonds has been setting up arrangements to erect a ritzy dinosaur amusement park--complete with living dinosaurs based on cloned DNA from preserved prehistoric samples--on a supposedly secure island off the coast of Costa Rica. To get an outside appraisal of the park's security, two paleontologists, a mathematician, a programmer, and Hammonds' grandchildren are brought to the park for a weekend... and at the same time, reports have come in from mainland Costa Rica of lizard-like creatures that have bitten people and even killed some. This was a quick and fun read, and it definitely feels like a major cultural touchstone that I'm happy to have read. (  ) forsanolim | Nov 20, 2020 | Michael Crichton’s 1990 novel, Jurassic Park, gets the Folio Society treatment in this volume, which reprints the text of the 2015 Arrow edition and includes new illustrations from Vector That Fox. Like several of Crichton’s previous works, including Timeline and West World, the story examines the consequences of rushed science and the inherent instability and uncontrollability of any complex system. Readers will note the differences in some of the characters from the original novel to Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film of the same name. For example, Alan Grant is much fonder of children right from the beginning as he appreciates their enthusiasm for dinosaurs. Ian Malcolm gets along better with Grant and Ellie Sattler, playing the role of John Hammond’s conscience in several scenes. Where the film version of Hammond was likeable despite his hubris, in the novel Hammond is obsessed with making money, acts petulant, and refuses to admit any faults. Arnold, Muldoon, and Dr. Wu are similar to their film equivalents, though Wu has a larger role in the original novel as does Dr. Harding. The novel remains a classic of the genre and one of Crichton’s best works. Fans of the film series should read it not only because the novel inspired the movies, but also to appreciate the greater depth of the story. This Folio edition is a beautiful copy for fans of Crichton’s work, featuring several full-color illustrations and simulated dinosaur skin on both the book cover and slipcase. ( ) DarthDeverell | Nov 18, 2020 | AMC was running a movie marathon, I haven't reread it in at least a decade, it was time. I recognize Michael Crichton was both flawed as a person and a writer but golly, I still love this book. ( ) kickthebeat | Nov 1, 2020 |
 The Jurassic Park is a novel by Michael Crichton, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1990. The version I've read is the Hungarian edition, published by Maecenas Könyvkiadó in 1992. Jurassic Park is an adventure story, set in the near future on a dinosaur-based theme park, where everything goes wrong. Crichton's writing is captivating. He is able to show us a believable character in a page or two. I recommend the Jurassic Park book for anyone who would like to read a thrilling adventure story.

Undeniable sexism in the treatment of Elle and Lexi in the text as well as the extremely dated technology kind of ruin the memory.
Still fun, fast paced once it gets going and cleverly written. (
