This is not a children's book. But it's an excellent and well written story.

I liked this book much more than the movies... It had much more excitement and build up of emotions. I felt as though I was more engaged in the scenarios - the depth and detail that went into this book was amazing. Not only this but the dinosaurs' true identities are profoundly exhibited - they are not perpetrated as what many think them to have been (terrifying animals that once roamed the earth 65 million years ago) but as what they were (much like the animals that are around today).

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.

Partially ported over from my now-abandoned Goodreads:
Listen. This one is a classic for a reason and you should give it a go. It might not be your thing, but if it is, it'll blow your socks off (as it did mine) with its themes, messages, and of course the DINOSAURS. Seriously. Well-thought-out exploration of the dangers of marketisation, the ethical implications of genetic manipulation, AND DINOSAURS. What's not to like? I love a good dinosaur, that's for sure. Can you tell I like this book? You might like it too. Check it out.

A lot of people get killed by dinosaurs in this book. Some of it is very VERY graphic, even described via POV at one point. Seriously, the book is quite a bit gorier than the movie. There's also several depictions of medical treatment as a result of the aformentioned dinosaur violence, and some of that is pretty unpleasant too. This book is pretty close to a full-on horror book.

This is, and remains, one of my all-time favourite books. A dinosaur-filled cautionary tale worth suspending your disbelief for.
