Teaser Tuesday #19



Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. To participate you grab your current read, open to a random page and share (2) teaser sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INLUDE SPOILERS (Make sure what you share doesn't give too much away. You don't want to ruin the book for others). Share the title and author.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

 Jurassic Park
I haven't done this meme in a while, so it's nice to be back. I'm a big fan of the Jurassic Park movies (well, the first two anyway) but I've never read the books. Well, I'm correcting that now with the first one. I have to say I never really thought about reading the books much, but lately it just seemed like a good idea to see what the original story is like- and a shout out to Jessica at Tales Between the Pages for giving me the idea with her Page to Screen feature.

  3. Good teaser. I've never read the books, but then -- I didn't care for the movie. *Shudder* Thanks for visiting!

    1. This is my first time with the books, but yeah- if you don't like the movie, probably wouldn't be very good. :) Although like most adaptations, there is a lot more going on in the book...

    1. So far it's like the movie but it's also got a lot more- so I'm glad I'm reading it. I never really thought about reading it before...

    1. It's funny, I never even really considered the Jurassic books even though I liked the movie. Took me all these years to get to it... :) My WoW pick is one I've been looking forward to since last year, when I read the first book- pub date is getting closer! Hopefully this one will match the first.

  8. Jurassic Park is a great book. I never went on to the sequel, but I read some other books by Crichton and enjoyed them too (notably Sphere).

    Good pick for the WoW; I like books set in that time period, so I'll have to check it out!
