    About this audiobook

    An astonishing technique for recovering and cloning dinosaur DNA has been discovered. Now humankind's most thrilling fantasies have come true. Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park with their awesome presence and profound mystery, and all the world can visit them-for a price.

    Until something goes wrong.…

    In Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton taps all his mesmerizing talent and scientific brilliance to create his most electrifying technothriller.

    Editor's Note

    A little too real…

    Extinct giant creatures who once roamed the earth get new life after their DNA is extracted from amber. What could possibly go wrong? Michael Crichton’s book is the basis for the ongoing blockbuster film series.

      Gorgeous story line, a total classic. However, it’s spoiled by the whining and idiotic behavior of some of the characters. Thank goodness this was mitigated in the movie
    • 4/5
      call me twenty one pilots because now i'm stressed out
    • 5/5
      If you like the film, you will love the book. So much fun and full of thrills! Highly recommend!
    • 2/5
      2.5 stars rounded down due to a severe lack of editing. The story of the island and the scientific research that lead to Jurassic park was compelling. From that stand point the book is easily 3.5-4 stars. The character development, however, was another thing I found to be severely lacking; there’s a large cast which further accentuated this - there’s no one the reader truly cares about. Also, the way the children are written detracts from the story significantly - perhaps they were who the reader is supposed root for, however, after having read thousands of books, lex is single handedly the most irritating and poorly written child I’ve ever encountered.
      Also, in relation to editing, particularly in an audiobook, referring to every 6th character or so by first and last names for no reason other than inconsistency was infuriating - though the element that truly put my teeth on edge was the way nearly every conversation was read as a script (accentuated by the narrator) Lex SAID, Malcom SAID, Ellie SAID - 1/400xs was said replaced with asked/whispered/replied -?!? - middle schoolers could’ve done a better job with that - HOW DID THAT MAKE IT PAST EDITING?!?
    • 5/5
      Wonderful novel !! I'd read it without tiring myself, just amazing
    • 4/5
      Soooo much better than the movie....and I love the movie!
    • 5/5
      I have always loved this book and being able to listen to it while I was busy with something else was an experience I will definitely repeat! Well done to the narrator!
    • 5/5
      Better than the movie. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for action and suspense. It had me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
    • 5/5
      After loving the movies since I was a kid I felt the need to “read” the book. Another case of the book being better then the movie but both are great in their own rights. This is a must read for any fan.
    • 5/5
      as usual, absolutely fantastic.
      compelling and nuanced.
      10/10 highly recommended
    • 5/5
      Great book, really gets the gears turning in the old noggin
    • 4/5
      Wonderful story!! Adventure, science, human and animal nature, even philosophy.
      Thoroughly enjoyable journey, this book was.
    • 4/5
      Wonderful performance by Scott Brick. The material itself is much richer and deeper than the movie, but is not flawless. The character of Lex Murphy is terribly written.
    • 5/5
      This was my second time through - thought I'd leave a review.

      Should you read it?
      Yah bud it's Jurassic Park. Watch out for the baby T-Rex though - that's Gruesome.

    • 5/5
      Listening to it again at 36 was just as enthralling as it was reading it when I was 13
    • 5/5
      Loved every minute. Kept me company during walks. Will listen to again
    • 5/5
      A wonderful story! I’ll forever love the movie, but my lord if they would’ve put all this into a movie, it would’ve been better!
    • 5/5
      This was great! The characters are so much more lifelike then in the movie. Flow and back drop is fenomonal and the concern, the tension, alot nore present. It is a good read and I do recommend it
    • 5/5
      Amazing writing, great pacing, intense, and felt like the movie but expanded. The guy reading was excellent. One of the best audio books I've listened to!
    • 5/5
      Crighton's best one, in my opinion. Has so much more to it than all the movies.
    • 5/5
      Oh yes, totally excellent!! You cannot get much better than this!! A real classic and a profound warning to our human arrogance. Heed well!
    • 5/5
      I love this book. It does a great job referring to it’s self. The way that he explains everything is wonderful and easy to understand. An interesting and exciting book that I hope you read.
    • 4/5
      This is my third time reading this book! Still so scary and thought-provoking
    • 5/5
      Great book and great listen. Must listen for any fan.
    • 3/5
      3.5 - Lex made me so frustrated and the anticlimactic ending???????
    • 5/5
      From one who grew up mesmerized by the films, I am so glad I read the novel. As it is said over and again, “The book is way better!” I recommend you read it! I loved the imagery and all the complex thought processes and dialogue (internal and external.) Witnessing their deaths from their point of view was chilling!!
    • 5/5
      Wonderful, really loved it. Couldn't stop listening. Now I need need watch the movie again!
    • 4/5
      Totally dragged in places, but I enjoyed the depth of research and thought that went into the text. Did not like the endless body count.
    • 5/5
      As usual, the novel far surpasses the movie. Top drawer.
    • 5/5
      Killer almost better than the movie not sure if I should say tht haha
