Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton, is one of the best books I've ever read. The novel has an over all theme that just because humans can do something does not mean they should do something. That is, technology is advancing faster than we can create social norms or legal systems to handle the consequences.
While everything Crichton did not expressly say is interesting to think, argue, and debate over, what he actually writes is what makes Jurassic Park good. The reason I like the novel is because, simply, Jurassic Park is an entertaining novel, especially for the reader who is a fan of Science Fiction. Crichton really hit the mark when he decided to write about something as awesome as dinosaurs running amok.
Those of you who enjoyed the movies and haven't read the books should give them a shot. Remember, you don't have to finish anything you start reading!
