Fortunately, having read many books, gone movie - I knew to "clear the slate" and begin anew, discovering a story even more exciting. Would you consider the audio edition of Jurassic Park to be better than the print version?ĭear Readers - Try to put the movie out of your head and prepare yourself for a far richer, more exciting and "Run for your Life" adventure into Jurassic Park! I love love love the Movie "Jurassic Park" And like most, Jurassic movie fans, found myself, perhaps "instinctually" comparing the plot of the movie with that of the book…. If you have been avoiding his narration, rest assured that you will love him in this reading. He already had the voice, but now his inflections fit the mood of each and every sentence.
In this book I was amazed by his performance. He used to have a tendency to read every sentence tremendous dramatic flair, even if it was some mundane chore like drinking a glass of water. He is hard to ignore, but I actually did for about two years.
Narrator Scott Brick is one of the most prolific narrators around. I was hoping they would throw her to the dinosaurs before it was over. Slap her please I would also like to ask from those who read the book, did you want to slap the crap out of that little girl as much as I did. I still gave the book four stars, as the first half was so wonderful. Anybody with any minor interest in science knew the answer from the beginning. He kept making it sound like some big deal and big secret no one knew about. The whole frog thing was disappointing also. This much running around lost its appeal for me and my mind kept wondering. There is still some science thrown in, but it reads mostly like it was written for the movie. The last half of the book is mostly being chased, eaten, and thrown around by dinosaurs. Had this book ended at the halfway point (about 7 and a half hours), it would have got a glowing review from me. It is my own personal quirk, but I am not a fan of overly long chase scenes, shoot-em ups or things that explode. If Crichton had no science in his writing, he still would be a popular writer with his abilities to build suspense, not just say this happened and than that happened. Crichton also has a scene of tremendous suspense, involving a little girl and a dinosaur. Several different sciences were beautifully explained.
#MICHAEL CRICHTON SPHERE AUDIOBOOK FULL#
WHAT ABOUT THE FROGS The first half of this book is full of all that wonder I mentioned above. Crichton has probably launched many careers in science with his ability to show the wonder and magic of science. He was a rare kind of genius that could explain complex scientific concepts in an entertaining fun way to us laymen. DIET COKE SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED Crichton was a genius.
