Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils[/caption]Jurassic Park... Man I still remember being a kid and going to see that movie on the big screen and just being totally spellbound by this truly spectacular movie... I mean besides the fact that this movie had some truly groundbreaking special effects, and talent that I still think can rival most if not beat out most modern day talent, this movie also had an incredible story that kept me and all of my friends just completely enchanted!
But you know what? I hate to say it... But like most great movies based on the book, this book was assuredly better then the movie... But just barely!
You see the book's story line is essentially the same as the movie, after some strange incidents that happened off the coast of Costa Rica, a group of people are hired by, 'John Hammond' (a filthy rich, yet some what eccentric and old billionaire, 'theme park' tycoon who has decided to build the ultimate theme park... One that gives the person going to the theme park a once in a life time chance to see a real life Dinosaur face to face!

A scene with, 'Sam Neill' who played, 'Dr. Alan Grant' in the big screen adaption of, 'Jurassic Park'![/caption]And at first everything seems to be going alright, but of course that is until one of the people who works at Jurassic Park shuts down the park temporarily... (A little bit of espionage for a well rounded weekend...) The only problem is, is that these consultants will start to have issues with giving them a good grade when they are fleeing for their lives from the main attraction!
Now you know I mentioned that the book was better then the movie... well just barely... I don't want to give away to much but the book has more suspense to it, more thrills, more chills, and it was for me, and you may find the same thing, that this book was a hard one to put down!
So, if you get a chance, check it out, I think that you might find that you might like it... I mean hell, if you liked the movie then I suspect that you might love the book as well!
