A Distant Demon
I will always recommend the original Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.
It's very different from the movie. I won't spoil it all but let's say certain characters who lived in the movie died and certain characters who died in the movie lived. Also napalm.
If you want something a little more serious.
The Pianist is a very good autobiography about a Polish Holocaust survivor.
Things Fall Apart is an interesting look at the clashing of traditional African values and the new values of the colonial white man.
Rain Reign is a sweet yet heartbreaking book about a girl with autism and her dog.
I got more if you want, but tell me what you think of those suggestions.
