I also devoured most of Crichton’s other books over the next year, though only Congo made enough of an impression on me that I can recall much of the story two decades later. When the movie came out, I even painted a Matchbox car to match the iconic Ford Explorers used in the film. I remember making a scale model of the park using poster board, Legos, and little plastic dinosaurs. I loved the book and must have read it three or four times before Steven Spielberg’s movie adaptation was released the following summer. Sometime during the summer of 1992, when I was eleven years old, I bought a paperback copy of Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park, which had been released at the end of 1990.
