Despite all the big chunks of info-dump dung, - Those come with every other Michael Chrichton's book anyway, you just can't avoid them. It's as if the man couldn't help lecturing his readers. That was his thing, you know. But I'll tell you what? That has never annoyed me to the point of driving me to a rage-quit rampage - it's an entertaining and satisfying read. Four stars.

Oh, btw, the movie is shit. Don't watch it.

The book starts out a little slowly but once Amy is introduced you really can't help but be invested. There's a few points I wish were explained a little better as the good part felt a little rushed. It's an enjoyable read regardless.
