clairees 's review for:
Jurassic Park
by Michael Crichton
adventurous
informative
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
I can't believe it's taken me so long to read this! It's almost the perfect book. The writing style is immersive and engaging, and the subject matter is obviously well-researched. I particularly liked the choices Chrichton made about what scenes to include, especially in the beginning to build exposition and suspense. Every detail felt important and necessary, but not in a way that was too on-the-nose. There wasn't much character development, unfortunately, but that's about what I expected from a thriller that's treated like an epic. I look forward to reading the sequel, and watching the movie for the first time in, like, a decade.
