Book Review 2-3

"Jurassic Park III"

The other day, I read a book called “Jurassic Park III”. This book is based on a movie which was directed by Steven Spielberg in 2001. Story is almost same as the movie, but I have found some differences and I prefer the movie.
The story is about two researchers and one family who got lost in an eerie island. They try to find a missing boy, but they were attacked by many kinds of dinosaurs instead. The two researchers, who named Alan and Billy, finally found that the island was a secret base which was used by someone to raise dinosaurs.
Sam Neil played the main character, Dr. Alan Grant. It has been almost ten years since he last acted as the same character in “Jurassic Park” in 1991. The missing boy’s father was played by William H. Macy. He is also a very talented actor. I liked him in a suspense movie called “The Fargo”.
I believe that the most impressive scene in “Jurassic Park III” is a fight between tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus. Computer graphics were very amazing, but it is the accepted view that tyrannosaurus was a fish-eating dinosaurs, so the scene was a wrong idea.
