Jurassic Park

I have never reviewed anything in English.. but, ehi! sooner or later I'll have to do it! So be kind to me, if I'm wrong something! 
So let's get started:

Jurassic Park ( writted by Michael Crichton )

Plot: The story begins with a series of incidents involving strange animal attacks in Costa Rica and on Isla Nublar. Our protagonist, Alan Grant, paleontologist,  identifies one of the species as a  Procompsognathus.  Alan Grant and his paleobotanist Ellie Sattler are invited to a remote island off the coast of Costa Rica by John Hammond (owner of InGen ) with a mathematician and chaos theorist, Ian Malcolm, and a lawyer representing the investors, Donald Gennaro. 
Their destination is Jurassic Park, a theme park showcasing cloned dinosaurs. The animals have been recreated using damaged dinosaur DNA found in blood inside of mosquitoes fossilized and preserved in amber ( thanks to genetic engineering ). Recent events in the park have spooked Hammond's investors, so, to placate them, Hammond means for Grant and Sattler to act as fresh consultants. With them, Hammond invited even his grandchildren, Tim and Lex, for a sightseeing tour in the park.
While touring the park with the children, Grant finds a Velociraptor eggshell, which seems to prove Malcolm's earlier assertion that the dinosaurs have been breeding against the geneticists' design. The park's controller detect that their dinosaurs are many more than before. In the midst of this, the chief programmer of Jurassic Park's controlling software, Dennis Nedry, attempts corporate espionage for Lewis Dodgson, a geneticist and agent of InGen's archrival, Biosyn. By activating a backdoor he wrote into the park's computer system, Nedry manages to shut down its security systems and steal frozen embryos. However, during a sudden tropical storm, he exits his stolen vehicle to get his bearings and is killed by a Dilophosaurus. Without Nedry to reactivate the park's security, the electrified fences remain off and dinosaurs escape.
Our protagonists are attacked from Tyrannosaurus Rex, whereby Grant and the children become lost in the park.
Malcolm is gravely injured during the incident, but is soon found by Gennaro. The park's upper management struggle to return power to the park, while the veterinarian, Dr. Harding, takes care of the injured Malcolm. 
After a long travel, with sporadic attacks from T-Rex, Grant and the children return to visitors centre, where people inside defend themselves from attacks of Velociraptor, because Grant must advise a ship bound for another residential area than there are dinosaurs on board. 
All protagonists, finally, are together, but they still have to find the nests of velociraptor and, in the conclusion, before boarding helicopters, the group tell the Costa Rican air force that the dinosaurs had been killing people. The air force then say that the island is dangerous and releases napalm over the island, destroying it and the dinosaurs. 
Malcolm and Hammond die.

Impression

In 1993 Jurassic Park comes to the Cinema. I literally loved it. I think it's one of the best movies never comes to Cinema, with its animations, its soundtracks etc. Spielberg did a great job, better than latest movies, where unpleasant animations rule! 


Years later 1993, I wanted to read the book that inspired the movie that I love so much and.. Woah! I really find it amazing, fluent, with sensational developments! I loved it as I loved the movie. 
Michael Crichton has created a world as wonderful as the real, reason why I recommend his book to all of you.
