226. Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton)

The velociraptor -- one vicious mofo

Synopsis from Amazon:
Bioengineers clone 15 species of dinosaurs and establish an island preserve where tourists can view the large reptiles; chaos ensues when a rival genetics firm attempts to steal frozen dinosaur embryos, and it's up to two kids, a safari guide and a paleontologist to set things right.

My rating: 4 stars
