Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton

It all starts with a seemingly innocent lizard bite and rapidly evolves to a fight against time and animal instincts. We all know the story so I won’t bore y’all with the plot (which is really cool). 

I was floored by how approachable the science behind this book is. It teaches the reader along the way without getting bogged down in the technical aspects. 

The characters are charming, smart and unlikeable where they need to be. They work together and interact like the bunch of relative strangers they are giving the group an authentic feel.

The pacing is superb. Short sharp chapters kept me on the edge of my seat and my heart racing until the end.

I cannot fault this one for my own personal tastes. First 5 ⭐️ off the rank for 2022!
