The very thought of a dinosaur is scary to most people......
Guys read this book and its more than a visual treat........... I read this book a very long time back even before the movie came out...I now have all the books of micheal crichton
Look at this wonderful idea..... the dna of a dinosaur being extracted from its blood which was sucked by a mosquito which got embedded into solidified lava .... sheesh this guy shud be given a noble prize for the very idea
The way he develops the story is just wonderful.........
Looking at the story:
The main character John Hammond, decided to test the ability of science by re-creating a dinosaur wonderland on a little island called Isle Nebular.
To do this Hammond would need the smarts of a dozen scientists, but there was one particular scientist who was mentioned in the book because of his achievements at the park.
Wu was his name. Wu made a lot of dinosaurs like two T-Rexs,Hypsilophodontids, and of course Dilophosaurs.
These dinosaurs were made by things ranging from frozen embryos, DNA, and mosquitoes; the island was inhabited by different kinds of species. Five years later around 1985 when the attraction was ready to open to the public around 1985
Dr. Grant, Ellie, mathematician Ian Malcolm, Lexie, and her older brother Tim are all heading to Isle Nebular at the requests of Hammond when something unexpected happens. The lives of all of the people who set foot on this magical island are soon in danger.
The inhabitants of the island have to fight to survive this roller coaster ride of their lives. I would give this book a rating of 10 because of the way Michael Crichton leaves you guessing about what will happen next and leaving you at the edge of your seat.
In the book, theres a tragedy that isn't in the movie. I think that Michael Crichton did a wonderful job on this book that I would recommend this book to everyone of all ages.
