The Jurassic Park is a novel by Michael Crichton, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1990. The version I've read is the Hungarian edition, published by Maecenas Könyvkiadó in 1992. Jurassic Park is an adventure story, set in the near future on a dinosaur-based theme park, where everything goes wrong. Crichton's writing is captivating. He is able to show us a believable character in a page or two. I recommend the Jurassic Park book for anyone who would like to read a thrilling adventure story.

The Flash, movie for the DC Extended Universe (2023) - Film review by Kadmon
If you'd like to be surprised by the The Flash film, I don't recommend you to watch the trailer beyond 0:20, because after that it starts to gives away the premise of the plot. Even if you don't mind knowing the premise, but you'd like to be suprised by the twists, stop watching at 0:48. After that it basically provides a summary of the film, up to the ending scene, it's only the very end we are not shown.

This is my review of The Flash, a contemporary fantasy movie for the DC Extended Universe from 2023. It's about a man who tries to change his past for the better, but has to deal with unexpected consequences. The The Flash film is watchable, but I only recommend it to fans of the genre.
