Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton


I've never been much of a dinosaur fan but this book was amazing. As far as books made into movies go, the book and movie were pretty much the same.

Dr. Grant, a paleontologist and his partner, Dr. Sattler, a paleobotanist are invited by John Hammond to spend a weekend at a new park that was just developed. How can they say no to the man who funds their digs and and promises to continue funding them for the next few years.
Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler have the suprise of their life when they arrive on the island and find out that dinosaurs have been created from the blood they find in fossilized mosquitoes. But everything starts to go downhill when they lose power and the dinosaurs start to get out of their cages.
