I will say the beginning is a bit slow, just with all the science and be build up to their arrival at the park. But it packs so much more of a punch in terms of the ethical discussion that's at the core of this book. Sometimes it feels a little much, mostly with Malcolm while he's mortally wounded lol, but it's so interesting to think about, and I ultimately appreciate having more opportunities to do so. There's not a ton of character development really imo, it's much more about the plot, the action, and the deeper meaning behind those things. I also loved how much more the book gets into animal behavior and trying to predict that than the movie does. I find that stuff endlessly fascinating.
This book is also one of the only thrillers I've read. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat, there are so many moments in which you are honestly shocked whenever someone doesn't die lol.

When reading this book I truly wondered if all prospects could happen I real life. The wonder of it all really hit me. However, so did reality - our world could never comprehend or live alongside that of the Jurassic!
Would I recommend?
Yes.
16/18+
Due to depth of deaths and some rather complex theories being explained.
Would I read the second book - The Lost World ? Definately.
Would I read more books by this author?
Yes.
