Editors Select, May 2015 - Years ago, as I was just starting to explore the genre of sci-fi, my best friend (a huge Crichton fan) urged me to read Jurassic Park - the basis, of course, for the blockbuster film franchise. I'm not too ashamed to admit that the movie terrified me as a kid, but in many ways, the novel is even more frightening, as it relies more heavily on the science that makes Jurassic Park possible - and very unstable - adding an unsettling dose of reality to this cautionary tale. I'm so excited to relive this book in audio as it’s released unabridged for the very first time with the incredible Scott Brick narrating - providing the perfect measured, authoritative voice for such a science-heavy listen. And with Jurassic World coming this summer, there's simply no better time to dive in to this classic. - Sam, Audible Editor
Critic Reviews
"Scott Brick brings a chilling calm to the complex story with his deep, even tone and clear enunciation.... He does a particularly fine portrayal of John Hammond, the creator of the controversial park, giving the character a raspy edge that suits the dark agenda beneath his grandfatherly facade." (AudioFile)

Jurassic Park
I must say this is my favourite book on Audible so far. I loved it. The narrator had a great tone to listen too. The story a classic of a park overrun by cloned Dinosaur's. The suspense and excitement of the story made it a page turner which kept me tuning in as often as I had time. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a scientific twist.

The movie was good but the novel...
What a great read.
No spoilers but if you liked the movie you'll absolutely love this book.
I love how Scott Brick voices girls. Like Lex in this book and Susan Calvin in I, Robot. Such innocence to his voice.
Don't delay. Read this book today.

I loved this book. I've read it over and over, this was my first time listening to it though. I thought it was very well done. the recording quality was a little poor though. it sounded like old technology. it wasn't distracting though

A Michael Crichton masterpiece!
I've read this book when I was a teenager an rediscovered it with audible. Feels that it is even better now. If you watched the movies and think you know Jurassic Park, think again. SO.MUch better.
Looking forward to hearing Lost World when they release it here.
