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.

This is my review of The Amazing Spider-Man: The Six Arms Saga, a futuristic fantasy action / thriller graphic novel story arc for the Spider-Man from Marvel Comics from 1971. It's about a super-powered vigilante trying to get rid of his powers, that leads to undesired complications. The The Amazing Spider-Man #100-102 comic book is average, I only recommend it to fans of the genre.

If you'd like to be surprised by the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film, I don't recommend you to watch trailer 2 beyond 2:13, or trailer 3 beyond 1:44, or trailer 4 at all, because that gives away a part of the plot.
