Huh. Maybe I don’t think Crichton is very good.

I think what's leading me toward a 2.5 is the way Malcom was handled in the last act of the book. I was so disappointed. Honestly the character choices weren't strong across the board. Repeated the child duo, big bad biotech villain that barely did anything in the second half, set up a plotline where they would need to make repairs to their vehicles and it just never happened...so on and so forth. 

Can't ever make me hate reading a dino book though.

I loved the feral and new dinosaurs that are infected with prions and behavioural issues. T rex = best parents and did nothing wrong. Sarah = terminator and riply had a badass child. Malcom = opioid addict and damsel as he should be. I really liked how he did a longer section of chill where you got to know the characters more deeply (compared to the first book) and it made me really route for them. Thorne and Eddie totally are bromo in the best way. I also loved how if you were a asshole you died in the worst way possible. Carnotaur got nerfed in the movies and I really enjoyed seeing the cool messed up adaptations they were given.
