About this book
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is a thrilling sci-fi novel that takes readers on a heart-pounding adventure into a theme park inhabited by genetically resurrected dinosaurs. Ingeniously created by ambitious scientists, the dinosaurs soon prove more formidable and dangerous than anticipated. As chaos erupts on the island, a group of experts, including paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant and mathematician Dr. Ian Malcolm, must fight for survival against these prehistoric creatures. Crichton masterfully combines scientific concepts, ethical dilemmas, and gripping action, delivering a cautionary tale about the consequences of tampering with nature and the limits of human control. Jurassic Park remains a timeless classic that captivates readers with its blend of science, suspense, and sheer terror.
Michael Crichton's epic book was adapted into a blockbuster film directed by Steven Spielberg starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough.
First line
The tropical rain fell in drenching sheets, hammering the corrugated roof of the clinic building, roaring down the metal gutters, splashing on the ground in a torrent.
