What isn’t there to love about Jurassic Park? There’s some interactions that feel a little dated these days, maybe Malcolm is a little too preachy, and Lex could probably talk about baseball a little bit less, but there’s dinosaurs! Just such a fun, easy read that anyone should be able to pick up and enjoy.
I was always curious about this book, and I'm so mad at myself for not reading it before. This novel had a fast paced story with lots of stuff to think about, and a good dose of science, I mean, what else could I ask! However, what kept me from giving it 5 stars were those kids, specially Lex. That kid was extremely annoying, and I couldn't stand her in any chapter. If that was Crichton's goal with that character, congrats! He made one of the worst kids on literature! Without Lex, the story would have been perfect. She's such a brat I couldn't help but dislike her. Besides her, I think the book is awesome!
