You’ve no doubt seen the film, but the book is so much darker it has to be read. This will scare you far more than any special effects because not only are Crichton’s descriptions of this genetically engineered park terrifying he looks much more in to the significance of tampering with cloning and the people who have no care except for their own selfish ideas and wishes. Humans can sometimes be more scary than dinosaurs!
Graham Marks, August 2010 Guest Editor: "John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids and The Midwich Cuckoos were two of the scariest books I’d ever read. When I came across them it was the first time I realised that while some books were great stories, there were others that were also ‘Big Idea’ books - what would nowadays be called High Concept, like Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park.
When I started writing, in the back of my mind there was always the thought that I always had to try and deliver more. There still is."
