Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Last year when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom came out I became obsessed with the Jurassic Park Franchise. I watched all of the movies and watched fan theory videos on Youtube. However I did not read the book. I'm drowning in my TBR, I can't just read a book whenever I want, there are other things to read. It took me months to get to my reread of Ready Player One so I could watch the movie.

I have to say I like the movie more. Its not the book's fault, the movie is a cinematic masterpiece. Also not the book's fault is that its just not my taste. I have said before and I'll probably say it again that action is not my thing. I have a hard time keeping up with it, at some point it just becomes a blur of words. This books relies heavily on its action scenes. Regardless, I had fun reading it, well as much as I could with trying to keep up with the action scenes.

The novel lost some of it magic with just being words on a page, with the movie we could actually see the dinosaurs. However, the novel was able to do way more scenes with the dinosaurs. Horror movies don't scare me (Jurassic Park was one of the movies my mom used to desensitize me to horror), but my heart was pounding during some of the scenes.

If you're a fan of Jurassic Park like I am check out the Klayton Fioriti Channel on Youtube.
