Have you read the Jurassic Park book?

[Glamourpuss 29,062]

I've never read the book but after reading your recommendation I definitely will add it to my list. Another poster mentioned Arthur C Clarke above. He writes the best science fiction.

My aunt bought it to me when I was like 15, it was in english, so I could practice it...but I got bored and frustrated because it had too many scientific words for someone that doesn't speak english  so I shelved it. And now you make me realise I have it and I think I can understand more, hopefully

yeah, Malcom has a lot of moments where he explains his mathmatical theories and i'm looking at the book like "...wat" but i just gloss over it and get back into the story

Dream catcher, it, and different seasons are crazy or sometimes odd, but i love them, cuz they make me cry a lot.

Carrie, misery, doctor sleep, etc... Are a ride

I didn't understand the sciencey parts either but it was because I was probably like 10 or 11 when I read it, so I just skipped over them. I understand it easily now haha. 

I've read the sequel too. Can't remember much about it though except it had 2 kids as stowaways instead of 1 in the movie and there was no San Diego scene.

You havent read a King novel yet!?  You are in for a treat. 

Unless you read Pet Sematary...in which case your soul will be crushed and you will probably feel like you will never experience happiness again.
