In 1993, I was 12 and saw Jurassic Park. I was so enthralled I read Jurassic Park and all the Michael Crichton books I could find. Crichton is probably who's canon I've read the most of.
I've read he wasn't a fan of writing 'The Lost World' and did not love the film adaptation. Outside of some initial work with Jurassic Park 3's story ideas, which he left early in the process, he never was involved with Jurassic Park again.
He died in 2008, seven years before Jurassic World came out. With JP:Rebirth being out do you think he would appreciate the direction of the franchise?
How many books did he write set in that world? Also, didn’t Arthur Conan Doyle have a book about finding an island where Dinosaurs are still alive? I still haven’t read Jurassic park but I plan to. I found Congo at a yard sale but haven’t read it yet
Just the two books. Crichton didn't write a lot of sequels.
Arthur Conan Doyle's book was completely and utterly different. My guess is that the name was chosen by Spielberg as something of a homage.
Thanks. With all my books I’m surprised I don’t have Jurassic Park
Congo is good. I remember it being way different from the movie. Have you seen the movie Congo
Movie was trash.
But good trash. It's junk food
Haven’t seen the movie. Is it worth watching or am I good with the book?
It's basically a dressed up B-movie.
