Today, I read Review about Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton on Mouthshut.com – the Consumer Review Website.
An expert of martial arts would never use his skill for wrongdoing. But one who has newly acquired the skill would exploit it to harass everyone around.
Michael Crichton – The master of techno thrillers, medical thrillers and science fiction wrote his largest selling book Jurassic Park in 1990. It was later made into a film in 1993. The Lost World is a sequel to this book. An M.D. by profession, he wrote his first book in 1966.He backed up all his stories with exhaustive research in varied fields, just as the current book mentions DNA replication for creating dinosaurs. He has received acclaim as well as criticism in his life due to his presentations of "fiction as fact" in science fiction novels. His heights of imagination scaled as much as his own unusual height of 6 feet 9 inches!
The book starts with an introduction of how Biotechnology started and how it progressed. The scientists who invented it strongly felt that it would serve as a utility for human benefit. But over years, it became a weapon to mint money. Those who had the privileges could get anything done from doctors willing to dance to their tunes. It was interesting to note that scented cells could be injected into human body so that the person would smell of his favourite perfume the whole day!
Story – A genetic engineering organization Ingen plans to start an amusement park and a theme zoo on the Isla Nublar Island called Jurassic Park. This is a zoo of genetically created animal species called dinosaurs that had become extinct 65 million years ago. This would mean huge business in the form of entry tickets and merchandise like theme caps, T shirts, etc. Ingen would also offer to create little dinosaurs as pets for children (whose parents could afford the sky-high prices). The park houses 238 animals of 15 species. Motion sensors have been installed at different places to track the position of animals and high-tech security systems are in place. All dinosaurs are enclosed in highly electrified fences so that no animal can escape. The animals are all female so that they don’t breed. The owner of the island and Ingen organization Mr. Hammond is wildly enthusiastic that all efforts and investments of 5 years would finally pay off.
RATING: 4/5
