Great read, for the most part...
As you’ve probably heard, the book is wildly different from the movie, in mostly good ways. It is a fast, exciting and compelling read that only gets bogged down when Ian Malcolm “speaks”. In fact, by the time I was 50-60% of the way through the book, when I got to a part where Malcolm spoke I skim read it so fast I basically skipped it. These snippets truly stop the book dead in its tracks. Otherwise, it is a great read. Having grown up with the movie and never read the book, it was refreshing to see the story told in a different way and different light altogether. It makes you appreciate many of the changes that were made when writing the script for the movie while still leaving large chunks of the original story in tact. Check it out!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

So adventuring!
Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies so I decided to read the novel. Reading the novel is so adventuring and it made me feel like I was taking an adventure in the dinosaur land of Jurassic Park. In my opinion, the novel is better than the movie and it has a lot of details. I really love the ending part in the novel. Tim is my favorite character in both novel and film and I love him so much! Those of you people who watched Jurassic Park and like it a lot but had not read the novel version, read it!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nothing like the movie, which is to be expected
Saw the movie 100 times before I finally read the book. It’s OK but I expected more. It’s a super fast read. Doesn’t get boring. I was just “ruined” by having seen the movie millions of times prior to reading the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Brilliant piece of science fiction.
My approach is totally subjective and personal. When I was a kid one of my favorite books was an album on paleontology representing very colorful illustrations. So the movie by Steven Spielberg became a great event for me:) I was going to collect the original book since long ago and now upon receipt I find it excellent. Especially one of the ideas of the novel: if you resurrect the past it will eat you.

Great quality
The DVD's were of good quality. However, if you request subtitles, the picture will stop after about 15 minutes with a large warning label across the film. I don't remember the exact wording but I've never seen it before. The picture will continue but the warning label will remain blocking your viewing. If you like subtitles, choose the "descriptive" dialog choice instead and you will not be bothered with a disruptive label. The quality of the films were excellent.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great deal!
Shipping was a bit slow (but it was free!). There's some highlighting here and there. But the book was super affordable and it's in good shape so I don't mind so much
