Un gran sci-fi thriller

5 stars

Un gran thriller, además de que los diálogos de Ian Malcom sobre la soberbia de las personas, la ciencia, el capitalismo y la teoría del caos son una verdadera joya y siguen estando muy vigentes hoy en día, aunque nuestros grandes avances hayan resultado en la creación de Inteligencias Artificiales y no clones de dinosaurio.

Sin duda me habría encantado leerlo antes de ver las películas.

Better that one of my favorite movies

5 stars

I’ve loved Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg for as long as I can remember. I’ve hesitated to read the book, since I misunderstood it to be written after the film and not vice versa. That’s not the case though. About the book then: it’s fantastic. The whole seconds half you’re on needles, turning page after page. I like the style of Michael’s writing too. The movie and book differs in a few way, but story- and character wise. Hammond, which is quite likable in the movie, is what I imagine the Tech Bros of this decade when they’re in their seventies. Malcom is a bit much in the book, but becomes excellent in conjunction with the movie. I’m super happy I actually gave it a shot. My best read of this year, so far.
