LIFE FINDS A WAY IN SCI-FI STANDOUT JURASSIC PARK

I, like every other millennial, spent my youth equal parts enamored with and petrified by 1993's big screen adaptation of Jurassic Park. It was a cinematic marvel the likes of which I’d never seen before, brilliant story work bolstered by state-of-the-art animatronics and an impeccable cast. And yet, despite the raptors running rampant on Isla Nublar, there was a stark realism to the story, underpinned by a scientific premise that felt distressingly plausible.

Over the years, I’d watch it again and again and again, until I had memorized every line and singular moment, every bleat of the ill-fated goat, every water glass tremor. There was just one problem—now that I knew the film inside and out, I wanted more. And so, the instant I was old enough to get my preteen hands on a copy of the film’s source material, I did just that. (Spoiler alert: I loved it so, so much that I’d later name my own pet dino—okay, fine, bearded dragon, but close enough—"Crichton" in honor of the late author.)

Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton’s groundbreaking sci-fi standout that had inspired that film is speculative fiction as its very best—whip-smart, taut, and unflinching. Not once does the novel lack for something to say, whether it’s on the ethics of science, technology, and ambition or the resultant disaster from unleashing that which we do not fully comprehend into the world. Upon reading it for the first time, I was instantly struck by the effectiveness of the novel’s blend of minute high-tech, cerebral detail and flashes of graphic body horror, all strung together with a tight, suspenseful narrative. Throughout, there is an urgency to the story, conveying a warning about mankind’s hubris that, even three decades after the novel’s initial publication, we perhaps still fail to heed.

Impressively, what remains sharpest about Crichton’s masterwork aren't the teeth of an apex predator or claws sinking into prey. Instead, it’s the author's incisive musing on unfettered capitalism, the inescapable push-and-pull between chaos and control, and the impact of both on the natural world that cuts right to the bone. John Hammond, the founder of the fictional park, is not naïve about the misgivings—he simply does not care about the risks if they yield significant reward. Motivated only by the potential of profit, he is arguably a more effective antagonist than any of the carnivores lurking in the long grass. After all, the escaped dinosaurs are merely acting on instinct—the real destruction is wreaked by man’s attempts to commodify the natural world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Scott Brick brings a chilling calm to the complex story with his deep, even tone and clear enunciation.... He does a particularly fine portrayal of John Hammond, the creator of the controversial park, giving the character a raspy edge that suits the dark agenda beneath his grandfatherly facade." (AudioFile)

DIET COKE SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED
Crichton was a genius. He was a rare kind of genius that could explain complex scientific concepts in an entertaining fun way to us laymen. I have compared him to Arthur C. Clarke, which is high praise indeed. Crichton has probably launched many careers in science with his ability to show the wonder and magic of science.

WHAT ABOUT THE FROGS
The first half of this book is full of all that wonder I mentioned above. Several different sciences were beautifully explained. Crichton also has a scene of tremendous suspense, involving a little girl and a dinosaur. If Crichton had no science in his writing, he still would be a popular writer with his abilities to build suspense, not just say this happened and than that happened. It is my own personal quirk, but I am not a fan of overly long chase scenes, shoot-em ups or things that explode. I know I am rare in that. Had this book ended at the halfway point (about 7 and a half hours), it would have got a glowing review from me. The last half of the book is mostly being chased, eaten, and thrown around by dinosaurs. There is still some science thrown in, but it reads mostly like it was written for the movie. This much running around lost its appeal for me and my mind kept wondering. I got impatient for it to get over with. The whole frog thing was disappointing also. He kept making it sound like some big deal and big secret no one knew about. Anybody with any minor interest in science knew the answer from the beginning. I still gave the book four stars, as the first half was so wonderful.

Slap her please
I would also like to ask from those who read the book, did you want to slap the crap out of that little girl as much as I did. I was hoping they would throw her to the dinosaurs before it was over.

Narrator
Scott Brick is one of the most prolific narrators around. He is hard to ignore, but I actually did for about two years. He used to have a tendency to read every sentence tremendous dramatic flair, even if it was some mundane chore like drinking a glass of water. In this book I was amazed by his performance. He already had the voice, but now his inflections fit the mood of each and every sentence. If you have been avoiding his narration, rest assured that you will love him in this reading.

CHAOS THEORY

I enjoyed the movie based on this book. However the book is so good I listened to it twice in a row. I don't often write about a book but Read this Book it is one I'll come back to time and time again.

So So different

The story is a classic and I think better than the movie. But man o man, what an uninspired reading. Yawn

Scott Brick is a dull narrator

While the book was good, it is routinely encumbered by the author's ramblings against scientists using poorly understood precepts of chaos theory (would be better if he preached on Murphy's law instead of chaos theory). Additionally, there is more gore than i think necessary. for example the are multiple actions in first person of people getting mauled alive. The concluding chapters provide little resolution of the conflict and make you wonder if the story was just an embodiment of the author's disdain for science. In short, the movie was great because it removed most of the preaching and the gore... I'd stick to the movie.

Enjoyed the movie more

What made the experience of listening to Jurassic Park the most enjoyable?

The extra details and explanations from start to finish. The personalities of each of the characters were especially interesting to me as they differed greatly from the why they were portrayed in the movie version.

Which scene was your favorite?

The cliff hanger at the end.

Any additional comments?

I only had one thing that bothered me throughout the book and that was how the young girl was portrayed as such a brat and never learned from the sequence of events as things progressed.

As always, the book is better in many ways.

I have loved Jurassic Park since i first read it as a 12 old kid. I was really looking forward to listening to this audio book to get me back to that first time I read this story. Unfortunately the monotone, unexcited, and little to no character differentiation really made the book dry and boring to listen too. i was very disappointed in this audio version.

Great story below average telling

I enjoyed this amazing and already known story as it was the first time. Engaging and thrilling, it kept me listening for hours and gave me the opportunity to come back to the island and feel the dinosaurs almost chasing me.

I came back to Isla Nublar

Not a fan of Scott Brick, that nasally monotone voice, but loved it just the same.

Always better than the FIlms, esp., unabridged
