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.
I love JP, too! Book and movie. Saw the movie first, and I was only seven, but shortly after I discovered it at the library and was just so excited to have more of it. I’m of the opinion the book and movie are equals. Different, but books are different than movies, it’s just the nature of the different mediums. Scott Brick does the audiobook version and it’s very good.
Timeline and Dragon Teeth are other favorites of his. Lost World was decent. Eaters of the Dead was very different but I did like it. I hated Sphere, but it’s super popular, so maybe you’ll like it too.
