Jurassic Park overview--end entry
Over the past few weeks, I read the book Jurassic Park, by Michael Chrichton. This book is about a group of scientists who are able to recreate dinosaurs using genetic engineering. They think they have the perfect recipe for a succesful tourist venture, and so the owner of the park invites his grandkids and a few people who helped him to the island where his park is almost fully set up. However, as they tour the park, they realize that the park would never work--the animals don't act like they should, the systems don't act like they should, and everything is dangerous. One big theme of this book is to not change things drastically, because these scientists thought "oh it would be good to change the balance of the world and make dinosaurs alive again" and it turned out horribly for them. If they hadn't decided that they wanted to totally change the world, they would have kept themselves in a better place and position. i thought that the ending to the book was great. it left you in suspense and left you wondering, which i always think makes a book interesting. Altogether, i really liked this book, because it had moments where it was full of action but it also made you think. i would recomend it to anyone who likes sci-fi.
