Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

Okay I have a confession to make....I read this book years ago and finished it up late one night.  I went to sleep and woke up in a panic because there was a T-Rex roaming our neighborhood and he was pulling the roofs off houses and then picking people up from inside and eating them.  I know, I know...me and my weird dreams.
I saw the movie before I read the book.  Saw it when it first came out at theaters and enjoyed it so much that I went and bought the book to read.  Loved the book even more than the movie.  It was so well written and so descriptive, I could smell the jungle air and the animals.  It took me no time to finish it, evidenced by the fact that I could not put it down until I was done.  It was super.  The pace is super fast, the detail is magnificent, the characters are well thought out and solid.
Is there such a place in existence?  Perhaps something the government of some country is funding?  Maybe so, maybe not.  But it was a wonderful book and the differences in the book and movie are minute.  You will love the book if you loved the movie.  Maybe more like I did.
