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.

If you'd like to be surprised by the Madame Web film, I don't recommend you to watch the trailer at all, because it begins by giving away an important twist of the plot. Then it starts to reveal practically every plot point and potential twist, up to the ending scene, it's only the very end we are not shown - although you'll probably able to predict it, based on what you've already seen in the trailer.
