Jurassic Park

Own and read twice.
==First read (December 2007)==
===Format===
Same as second read, I believe.
===Journal===
First read it in December 2007, finishing on the 29th. I got it for Christmas that year, from Santa Claus. I remember liking it, but I can't remember how much or anything.
===Rating===
4/5 I expect.
==Second read (August 2011)==
===Format===
2006 paperback Arrow edition, from my bookshelf (originally got it new). 403 pages, 40 lines per page, 38 blank pages. 9.6 words per line384 words on page 84 according to Notepad++. implying 140160 words in total, and 57 characters per line2291 characters on page 84 according to Notepad++. implying 836215 characters in total. 434 'standard' pages (350 5.5-character words).

I started reading it again on the 10th of August 2011. I'd recently read someone saying how they reread it frequently and love it and I wondered at that because I hadn't particularly foreseen myself reading it again, more than once and anytime soon anyway. So after finishing Contact I had no particular plans and decided to reread it.
I was disappointed, actually, there was a lot I disliked about it. The dinosaurs had a whole bunch of absurd characteristics - nasty "reptilian" stinks, glowing eyes, better-than-chimpanzee intelligence, to name a few - and Malcolm irritated me. I don't think I'm going to like Crichton's books by and large, but we'll see.
