Sinossi
Uno dei massimi successi editoriali di tutti i tempi, venduto in milioni di copie e tradotto in tutto il mondo, ha ispirato l’omonimo film di Steven Spielberg.
In un’isola sperduta al largo del Costa Rica, il miliardario John Hammond ha costruito un gigantesco parco di attrazioni biologiche. Grazie ai miracoli dell’ingegneria genetica, nel suo «Jurassic Park» potrà rivivere l’intero ecosistema dei dinosauri, estinti centinaia di migliaia di anni prima. Ma un progetto così ambizioso e delicato si mostra sin da subito troppo complesso da gestire per dei semplici esseri umani. E quando i primi esemplari di dinosauri carnivori, tra cui il gigantesco Tyrannosaurus Rex e i famelici Velociraptor, vengono avvistati è forse già troppo tardi.
In perfetto equilibrio tra precisione scientifica dei dettagli e atmosfera fantastica e avventurosa Jurassic Park cattura il lettore fin dalle prime pagine, trasportandolo in un incubo che nasce dal profondo della preistoria e si proietta su un presente dominato dalle arroganti certezze della scienza.

Lesson from this book: Kids are annoying and will get you killed. Ok I’m slightly exaggerating but have you noticed how frustrating children characters are during a crisis?

New week, New BookTube Video - all about the best (and worst) literary apocalypses to live through! The Written Review “Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.” Jurassic Park has all the major problems of a theme par
This is one of my favorite books of all time!!! I was way excited back then, 20 years ago, about the movie (minus the controversial scene portraiting San José, Costa Rica with a beach in the middle of it). Trust me. I am from Costa Rica and I live precisely in San José and we don't have a dang be
4.5 ❤️
Rereading for obvious reasons. :D :D :D :D
Put me down for "liked the movie a little more." "But scientific power is like inherited wealth: attained without discipline. You read what others have done, and you take the next step. You can do it very young. You can make progress very fast. And because you can stand on the shoulders of giants, Leggi tutto

So, straight to it. Jurassic Park, the book, is inimitable, apart from a few clumsy attempts. One thing that differentiated it from its wannabes is that, unlike books about sharks, snakes or let's say, zombies, dinosaurs come in very varied shapes. This means that the way the casualties meet their
Here's my video review https://youtu.be/HZjuLbquNIU
At the risk of offending what looks to be all my male goodreads friends who loved this (none of my female friends have read it, which is remarkable but probably not random), I couldn't finish it. It wasn't the multiple viewpoints or so-so prose, it was the science. I worked for awhile as an assistan Leggi tutto
