Summary: His Best Ever
Comment: I have read many of Michael Crichton's books (The Great Train Robbery, The Andromeda Strain, Sphere, Airframe, Jurrassic Park, The Lost World, Timeline, and his newest book Prey) and I think that this book is my favorite of all of them. It is a fast-paced thriller that is extremely hard to put down and is by far better than the movie. It also helps explain things that the movie left out.
The book takes place on an island off the coast of Coasta Rica where a venture capitalist named John Hammond has set up a safari type tour of genetically enginered prehistoric dinosaurs, all of which are enclosed in their own sections to protect the visitors. Six people visit the island and are asked to evaluate it in the issue of safty. Several events take place that all come together and all of the parks systems go offline, allowing the dinosaurs to roam free. Now the people have to work for their lives and find a way to call for someone to get them off the island--alive.
This book is probably my favorite book of all time and definitly Michael Crichton's best work ever. I would highly reccommend it to anyone who is able to read.

Summary: My English Novel
Comment: I'm in 9th grade and I had to read a novel for my English class. My teacher said to pick a book I haven't read before, so I looked and found "Jurassic Park." I noticed that it was by Michael Crichton, my brother always talks about him, so I decided to read it.
When I read the first couple of pages I noticed that Crichton puts a lot of time in describing his characters. Though I usually don't like long descriptive books this seemed to be all right so I kept reading it. I got interested when little chicken sized dinosaurs attack a family, because Michael Crichton described how the dinosaurs crawled up the arms of the family and started to pick at there faces, it was pretty gruesome.
The book it self is about an old man named John Hammond, that tries to create a park of cloned dinosaurs. He gets the DNA from Mosquitoes that are fossilized in amber. Before he opens the park he invites a group of people to tour the park. The group includes a paleontologist, a mathematician, a lawyer, and Hammond's two grand children. When the group is on the tour the power goes out causing the dinosaurs to escape and roam freely. Now the group has to get back to the main complex and call for help.
When the book was over I was surprised that I liked it. Now I am reading Michael Crichtons sequel to "Jurassic Park," it is called "The Lost World." It has some of the characters from the first book. But since I read "Jurassic Park" I haven't been able to set Michael Crichtons books down since.
