The film holds such a special place in pop culture, I wondered if perhaps the novel would serve only as a jumping off point for Spielberg’s vision, and might fail to live up to the level of quality found in the film. While I’ve heard plenty of praise for Crichton’s novel, I felt a certain sense of trepidation at the thought of reading it. I’ve been aware for quite some time the film is based on a novel, but it was only earlier this year I finally got around to giving the source material a go. I’ve seen the film many times over the years and, despite the advancements in filmmaking and CGI, it still holds up as a true classic and, like many others, it holds a special place in my heart. Like many children, I loved dinosaurs as a child, and I can still remember the sense of awe I felt the first time I watched the Jurassic Park. Those who’ve discovered the film in more recent years may be unaware that it is actually an adaptation of the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. Steven Spielberg’s 1993 movie Jurassic Park is widely regarded as one of the most iconic movies in film history, and continues to bring dinosaurs to life for viewers across the world.
In the tradition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the novel questions reckless genetic engineering and reminds the reader of the downside of scientific creativeness. One of the best known science fiction action novels, it was the basis for the 1993 Steven Spielberg film of the same name starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. The Binding is blue quarter cloth to blued boards with a bright gilt design on front board, bright gilt title, etc., to spine, slight fading at heel of spine, and top corners square and sharp, bottom corners slightly bumped. The Text Block is white, tight, straight and square with deckled fore-edges and no markings of any kind.
