SuaveStar Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Though I've always been thorughly disappointed with the Jurassic park movies(They were the slightest bit, fucking awful) I am sad to see him die. He had been privately battling cancer, his family said. I have to respect him for not coming out and screaming to world about it, unlike other famous people would and keeping his business his business. Bet that made no bloody sense.

ragernok2002 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Jurassic Park was and is still one of my favourite books of all time, one of the first books I ever bought, and is worse for wear due to all the times I read it. Amazing writer. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
