Ultimately feels rather pointless. They go to study dinosaurs, most of the characters survive, there's very little feeling of menace, and the characters are quite one-dimensional and hollow. It doesn't even any light on the events of Jurassic Park. Very little ending.

Great book! And I'm not a reader... Really not sure why the film was so different? There's even more kids in the book than the film... A proper movie version of this would have been brilliant!

About the author
Born in Chicago in 1942, Michael Crichton first trained as a doctor before going on to become one of the most successful writers in the world. In 1994 he achieved a feat unmatched by any other writer: by having simultaneously a number one TV series, book and movie with, respectively, ER (which he created), Disclosure and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, on its release the highest-grossing film of all time. He also directed several movies, including The Great Railway Robbery with Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland. His high-concept thrillers were international bestsellers, and in total his books have sold more than 200 million copies worldwide. He died in 2008.
