My favorite movie growing up was Jurassic Park. The book, when able to read, was also a preferred reading choice. For those that may not know, Jurassic Park is about a group of scientists who are marooned on an island (meant to be an amusement park) full of genetically engineered, resurrected dinosaurs. When the dinosaurs escape, it becomes a fight for survival for everyone on the island.
I enjoy this book because it employs the survival skill of actually being hunted; something lost in this day and age. Obviously we do not live in a world of dinosaurs. What intrigues me most about the story is the idea of the hunter becoming the hunted; when our implemented "control" over nature is taken away, how do we survive? Would we be able to survive to tomorrow if we had to live each day hunted down?
