    I’d say that’s more thriller than horror.

    For example, in the book, that fuse search ends in something far more horrifying than just Arnold’s dismembered arm. If I remember correctly, they discover him in pieces. All of them, but all over the place. Not just his arm. I think one of the kids pukes.

    The whole book seems like Michael Creighton really tapped his imagination for how many ways wild dinosaurs could absolutely and utterly eviscerate a person.

        Then you’ll enjoy the book more.

        I’m not sure I can say the same thing for the lost world, as that book was written specifically so it could be turned into a sequel for Jurassic Park the film. It’s still very good, but not nearly as good as the first book.
