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.
Someone told me once that if you are a 7 foot tall college graduate in the USA you have a 17% chance of playing in the NBA and a 2% chance of writing Jurassic Park.
It’s a great line but apparently it’s not quite true. The numbers are close to that but I don’t think anyone’s been able to stand up those exact numbers and actually Crichton was “only” 6’10.
