Jurassica Park by Michael Crichton

For the past couple weeks I have been working my way through Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. It's taking awhile mainly because I have been only reading at work. I am enjoying it though. There is just so much extra technical stuff in it. Crichton puts a lot of content in the story that is difficult for me to follow because of the terminology used. But it is helpful content. I have seen the movie and can see parts of it in the book; but luckily there is a lot that isn't in the movie. This is the first book by him that I've read and I am liking it. There are a lot of questions raised in this story. The whole idea of being able to bring dinosaurs back to life and be able to control them is very pompous. Hammond, the money behind all of it, is very blind to everything that could (and is) going wrong with his island.  I'm only at the part where things begin to go wrong. I'm waiting to see how Hammond is in the rest of the book.
