CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I love this duology too! I've tried a few of Bardugo's other books, but none of them have come close to these. 10h

Delightful. A robot crashes on an island and finds her heart when she becomes a mother to a gosling. The movie is excellent as well, but there‘s a sweetness in the book. Each chapter is a new adventure and challenge. Both my 6 & 9-year-olds loved it. We‘re excited to try the next book in the series since there‘s a bit of a cliffhanger.

Jurassic Park : [novel] | Michael Crichton

The concept of a Jurassic Theme Park with live dinosaurs has always mesmerized me. Where can I buy a ticket?! 🫣 So I finally read the book where it all started. I was surprised to find a frightfully sinister Hammond and an even more annoying Malcolm and Lex. But overall terrifying factor—off the charts. Must read more Michael Crichton. What a creative genius he was! Is the original movie better than the book? I‘d say they go best hand in hand.

PurpleyPumpkin I read this years ago, AFTER I saw the movie. That‘s most unlike me as I usually read the book first. At the time, I enjoyed the book more. Maybe it‘s time for a reread to see if I still agree with my earlier assessment! We lost a great writer way too early when MC passed away. 2d
AmyG I loved this book and the movie. 2d

MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin I‘m usually the opposite. I love the movie so much that I want to read the book. 🤷🏻‍♀️The pairing of screenwriter Crichton and director Spielberg is tough to beat. I do love the film, but the book gave it new insight. Yes, the loss of MC was a heartbreaker. 2d
MemoirsForMe @AmyG Me too! I‘m looking forward to seeing the new one. 2d
RosePressedPages Malcolm annoyed me so much lol 1d
AmyG @MemoirsForMe Me, too! 1d
MemoirsForMe @RosePressedPages I didn‘t think he could be more annoying in the book than in the movies. But he was! 😁 Hope he‘s not in the new movie. 🙄 1d
RosePressedPages @MemoirsForMe I kept thinking, now is really not the time to monologue about chaos theory for the 50th time 😭 1d

I liked this book WAY better on my second read of it and I already have the second book checked out and ready to be read! It's a humorous adventure and has a lot of charm. It isn't exactly like the movie which makes it fun to experience as an essentially new story by comparison.

This didn‘t advance the story much but was still entertaining.

Mehso-so

I searched this out after spotting it in Bullet Train. While the plot and various aspects were decent, overall I found it tried too hard to be overly intelligent. Hel also ends up more super hero than man, and the aspect which got to me the most was the authors infatuation with race - particularly attributing stereotypes and the appalling way Arabs were portrayed. It wrapped up decently and wasn‘t the worst read but not one I‘d recommend.

danx Oh and the expert lover stuff was pretty cringe!! 3d
