Jurassic Park… the film is of course a classic, but for whatever reason I never felt drawn to the book. That is until I found myself in a hole. Too many choices, so (as is to be expected) I ended up going for a book that wasn’t on my (really long) “to be read” list, nope I ignored all my to-reads and went straight for this because why not! Right from the start, I caught stuff that was left out from the movie, included in later films in place of the original, or just so perfectly adapted I could picture the scene. I know people often recommend to read the book before the movie, but I loved having the additional worldfeel before diving in. The book of course covers a lot more ground than the movie, but the extra science and story does nothing but ramp up the fun. You may even find yourself on a YouTube hole afterwards, researching paleontologist field-work.
