DESCRIPTION : From the dustjacket:
The dinosaur is back on earth - alive, now in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.
The story, told with an almost documentary verisimilitude, is an account of the attempt, through a hair-raising twenty-four hours on a remote jungle island, to avert a global emergency - a crisis triggered by today's headlong rush (virtually unchecked by any government or scientific watchdogs) to commercialize genetic engineering.
In Jurassic Park, Crichton makes brilliant and mesmerizing use of the unique amalgam of suspense and informed science (this time paleontology, biotechnology, and chaos theory) that he originated in The Andromeda Strain. Of all his superb scientific thrillers - all of them bestsellers -Jurassic Park is in every way the strongest. It is certain to be his most widely read talked about, and unreservedly enjoyed novel to date.
CONDITION GRADE : Very Good -

BOOK CONDITION
I try to list every fault that a book has, and grade it accordingly.
