Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is so well-known, we can’t even imagine a world without it. Of course, someone had to be the first person to think of it, to make the world and to make it come alive. The book is entertaining, exciting, and dangerously good.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is so well-known, we can’t even imagine a world without it. Of course, someone had to be the first person to think of it, to make the world and to make it come alive. The book is entertaining, exciting, and dangerously good. The same can be said about some of the movies that were made about it, yet still, I saw all the sequels. Here is some more from Wikipedia.

The linked Wikipedia synopsis places the opening animal attacks in Costa Rica and on Isla Nublar, where John Hammond has built his “biological preserve”.

I also read The Andromeda Strain.

Here is some more from my exploration of the story structure:

You: researcher and other characters, not really focussed.

Need: Hammond needed to change the world, make dino’s come alive again

Go: go to the park, make the animals live again

Search: show the park, see what is there, explain how it’s done

Find: see what has been done there, amazing

Take: ahhh panic, animals attack, longest part here

Return: fight for survival, barely make it many times

Change: know that nature is not a computer. And some animals are running around the world XD. And island is bombed.
