Jurassic Park

The great movie, which surely everybody has seen, informed my mental images of the setting and the characters in Jurassic Park. How can one not picture Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm, Richard Attenborough as John Hammond, and Wayne (Newman) Knight as Dennis Nedry. Some of the characters were different from the movie and the book was like a different version of the movie. This is good science fiction. I'm not an expert in paleontology, genetics, late eighties computer coding, or the chaos theory in mathematics, all of which figure prominently in this story, but they certainly seemed authentic. It's a can't-put-it-down read.
