Already better than the Movie! Jurassic Park is engaging, and offers a variety of different things for the reader to consider. Perfect for reading when on Holidays or travelling.

My boy loved the war books many thanks arrived on time.

Brought for 16yr old son loved these books. Great for any dinosaur lover.

After reading this book, I felt a strange satisfaction from experiencing the source material of one of my all-time favourite movies. I'm not a particularly avid reader but, like many others, I felt compelled to see how the movie was translated for better or worse. And I'm left feeling positive-to-mixed. What I didn't expect was that the screenplay for the movie actually does a fantastic job of improving on many aspects of this novel, and yet in some cases falls a little flat. The motivation behind all this is that the novel, written by an intelligent fellow with a fantastic background and knowledge of medical sciences, writes in an almost documentary fashion at times. The story is written primarily for adults and, as such, there are more mature themes driving the story along - the bio-tech companies battling for ownership of DNA, and the actual science science behind Jurassic Park itself. It takes a bit of patience to get your head around these scenes and chapters, but it is interesting none the less. Furthermore, the novel skews pure entertainment for thrills and tension. There is a broader story arc behind Jurassic Park's inception and the lasting effects it has on the surrounding areas. The characters are a little more genre-specific (Dr. Grant is barrelled chested, has a beard and is quite a grisly explorer!) and their actual development is nowhere near as fleshed out as in the movie. For me, this is where Speilberg really got the film right. Its tone is very different; it's more family-friendly, the characters have more depth and the pacing is near perfect. My favourite aspect of the novel is, actually, realising just how perfectly cast the movie is. In particular, Jeff Goldblum (who you can never imagine acting any other way) as Malcolm was a masterstroke. In other instances, the casting improves on the novel's depictions by a wide margin. This is not to say that the novel is in anyway inferior, but simply a different - original - take on the work. So if you enjoyed the movie, just keep an open mind and prepare yourself for a significantly more fleshed out, gory and wild ride of a story!

I never really wad much of a reader growing up but I thought to myself I want to try reading so I got these books and really enjoyed them. I had already seen the movies so I now what was going to happen but I loved the way it went into so much more detail about the events than the movies

Almost finished the first book, it's a great read. The books themselves, came in good condition.

Honestly, I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn, so much more than is in the movies. I can't really say more because I am utterly rubbish at doing synopsis/summary type things. I end up detailing everything because to me it's all important. Can't just skip over stuff, you know? Anyway. Worth adding to your bookshelf.

Really good books to read if you likes the movies or just likes some good ol SCI-FI. Warning the movies were created AFTER the book, and of course they are different but still very good.

El producto fue enviado ese mismo día y llegó antes de lo estimado por la app. Las ediciones tienen un buen diseño (el mismo de la imagen de muestra). El tamaño de la letra para mí es bueno, pero incluso si tienes algunos problemas de la vista creo que es decente. Lo único que no me agradó es que The Lost World tiene un golpe en el lomo de lo que parece ser una caída que tuvo en algún punto, pero fuera de ahí todo perfecto.

I have of course seen the movies. But I read an on-line review that said that there were a lot of differenses between the books and the movies. They were right. Worth the read.

Arrived on time. Great quality, new books. I already knew I loved the story, hence why I bought them.

Can't wait to read. Good value.
