yeah it mightbe possible that there are flaws,

The mistakes begin with name ‘Jurassic Park’. The dinosaurs named belonged to the Cretaceous. The king of the Jurrasic was Allosaurus not T. rex but then how would Crichton get his brand recognition to make the book/film the great hits they were? There are tons more of such flaws in virtually all his books since his very early ‘The Andromeda strain’.

In the final analysis, Crichton was a great novelist but a poor scientist or rather poor commentator on scientific issues. His ‘State of Fear’ is nothing but b.s. written to order by industries resisting measures to top global warming.

Enjoy Crichton but do not accept any of the science he makes out to be!

Don’t be put off by the movie – The Lost World, the book is nothing like the movie.

If you like JP, you will most definitely love the above two if you haven’t read them already!
