A very suitable sequel to the Jurassic Park novel. While Crichton wrote this book primarily due to the first film's success, it holds up pretty well on its own. The ending felt slightly rushed and/or lackluster compared to the first book, but that might just be me. Other than that, a great read.

Once again a banger. As an aspiring biologist I love how even in a fictional universe there are Scientifically sound observations that propel the story forward. Just such a page turner that seems impossible to disappoint.

also to the reviewer of JP who was *devastated* over Ian Malcolm: I hope you read this book. Your review was perfect and ILY.
