Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

4.25

adventurous tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I watched the movie a couple of years back when my cousin was obsessed with it. I enjoyed this more than I remember enjoying the movie, but they are rather different! I really liked the focus on science and technology (which was nit in the movie). I loved the palaeontology aspects. Although the science isn't perfect (some is definitely no longer quite accurate) a surprising amount of it has also held up relatively well. (Yes, yes there's the scifi elements but beyond that!) I will say that a lot of the characters were rather frustrating but I still had a great time with this one! The setting and dinosaurs make up for it. I have picked up the sequel from the library and am excited to keep reading about the dinos!
