| 08.10.15 | In the wake of Lego Jurassic World and re-watching all four films I decided to re-read this book. I guess I read it way back in high school before the first film came out and I was surprised at some aspects of this re-read. For one, a lot of the actual prose wasn't... great. I mean I always remembered Crichton's best gift is his ability to explain complicated science or technology in layman's terms, not so much character or emotion, but some of the writing in here was pretty basic stuff. However, the story was still great and it's re-affirming to me to see that even a huge hit like this was still had some cracks in the armor... I think most people really don't care about clunky sentences if the story is great. And the story is still pretty great. A few more characters than the movie, a few more deaths, plus a few plot differences that probably don't work well in visual form but represent interesting ideas (like how the raptors want to migrate). I enjoyed another visit here and it's definitely scratched the dino itch. |
