Perhaps best known for being the author of Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, which were turned into a hugely successful movie franchise, his numerous books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.

In what his family calls an unexpected death, it was revealed that he was waging a private battle against cancer.

    I believe Jurassic Park was the only book that ever gave me nightmares :shock: I read it in 8th grade and didn’t sleep until I had finished it.

    Interesting comment about brave storytelling; it is a shame that today literature is not made in the same way as “classical” writings. A good friend is writing and frustrated by the economic politics necessitating making money i.e. mass appeal and making things attainable by the average person (6th grade reading level)

    Where might I find some videos of the debate that Armand mentions?
