IT WAS AWESOME. Lol, I had very similar reactions to the book. I don't know why it took me so long to actually get around to reading it - it was even better than the movie!<br />PatsyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-90027619610010210722011-05-29T02:45:09.889-07:002011-05-29T02:45:09.889-07:00Lesa - Okay, thanks!

And yeah, there aren't a lot of fiction novels about dinosaurs now that I think about it. <br /><br />Nina - Yes I absolutely loved the movie. I have always known it was based on a book, but have never thought of actually reading it for some odd reason. <br /><br />Melissa - You should :) It's never too late after all! I think whether a reader likes it or not, one would still be able to appreciate it for what it is. <br /><br />Lesa - I have never heard of Watchers, but have just read the synopsis for it. I think I will borrow it from the library when I get the chance, hopefully this week. I am really getting into the whole sciencey thing! :D I do not own my own copy of Jurassic Park, but I really, really enjoyed it so much I plan to buy one for myself. I don't usually buy books unless I love them!

Koontz's Watchers was my first real sciencey DNA thriller back in the 80s and I was so hooked and craving more--- And I still remember going to the Walmart in my college town after class and discovering a paperback Jurassic Park-- and just knowing that it was going to be awesome!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-11241715657302722222011-05-18T20:01:20.068-07:002011-05-18T20:01:20.068-07:00I wish I'd read this book!

Haha.<br /><br />E - I think we're just lagging on it because we feel like we don't have to read it since we already saw the movie adaptation of it and it was great enough. Haha. But yes, read it!

(And like you, I have no idea why I'm still waiting!) <br /><br />The movie was great--still watchable after all these years--and I think I've established enough distance from it to find the book sufficiently fresh.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868395077988310106.post-84936389246917591142011-05-18T00:13:32.777-07:002011-05-18T00:13:32.777-07:00I read this ages ago.
