I was never into reading most of my life, but now I’m a junior in high school and after reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman in my English class I realized what I was missing out on. I told my family about this they were extremely excited. I asked my dad if he had any good book suggestions and he said that Michael Crichton was his favorite author and all of his books are great. I did some research and found out the wrote the novel version Jurassic Park . My family took me to Barns & Noble where we bought the two books. My father told me that he had read the books and that they were better than the movies. I finished reading Jurassic Park and I agreed with him. If you have not read it yet I highly recommend it.

      The movie is perfection. But it’s a perfect movie.

      The book just simply has more. More different dinos (there’s not just one T-Rex), more interactions between humans and dinos, and more talky-talky stuff (as my daughter would call it) that’s actually pretty interesting.

          It’s funny, in the movie, the T-Rex just magically shows up back at the main building to save the day. In the book, the T-Rex >!follows them all the way back from their initial encounter!<.
