Before watching Jurassic Park the movie, I had no idea who Michael Crichton is and the movies like Congo, Westworld, and The Andromeda Strain had anything to do with him. One day I was in the book store and saw the novel Jurassic Park and grabbed it as soon as I saw it. The first thing I wanted to know was “who is this ghostwriter called Michael Crichton” and was shocked to know all these movies were adaptations of his books and some movies were actually made by him. He was an amazing writer and I read all his books after that. Sadly he is not with us and we can’t have any more of his great writing and movies.
When you read this book, you miss the writer even more, because he was able to combine so much in one story and was able to pull it off perfectly without burdening or confusing the reader’s mind. Like this book had hard science where he is explaining deep-sea life, and then you are reading about black holes, and then you are diving into the mysteries of the human imagination and the dark parts or shadows of the human mind and unconscious and then he is teaching us the morals and moralities plus so much more.
For me, this book was not that huge even though it has 385 pages on the paperback version, but still, I felt it was too short because you want to read more and more of what is happening and once you realize what is actually happening, you want to see even more ways this story can go on and the possibilities that can come with the knowledge that is happening in the story and with the main characters. The suspense and thrill and the want to know more about the sphere and the mystery surrounding it are going to pound your brain for a long time, even after you finish this book.
The movie adaptation received a mixed reaction but I really enjoyed it. But as with almost every adaptation of a book, this movie has stuff that is changed from what it was in the book. One of my cousin's started screaming and started gasping for air during an intense scene and we had to take him out to get him to calm down.
Like many of my favorite writers, Mr. Michael Crichton was unique because he always came up with great and strange ideas that are kind of realistic if you think of them with an open mind. I'll review all his books with intervals even I know you’ll not get bored if you read all his books as a marathon but still, I must shuffle the reviews to keep all the readers from different genres happy.
Synopsis:
“From the author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Congo comes a psychological thriller about a group of scientists who investigate a spaceship discovered on the ocean floor.
In the middle of the South Pacific, a thousand feet below the surface, a huge vessel is unearthed. Rushed to the scene is a team of American scientists who descend together into the depths to investigate the astonishing discovery. What they find defies their imaginations and mocks their attempts at logical explanation. It is a spaceship, but apparently it is undamaged by its fall from the sky. And, most startling, it appears to be at least three hundred years old, containing a terrifying and destructive force that must be controlled at all costs.”
