    I absolutely gobbled up the story word for word.

    _Jurassic Park_ was fast-paced, exhilarating, interesting, scary, and super hard to put down!

    I will admit that I wanted more from the epilogue than what I was given, but I will forgive Crichton for that because the rest of the book is awesome.
