Based on how how I usually like my books more character-heavy, you'd think I wouldn't have enjoyed this one as much as I did. However, since there's also a good amount of simplified science, I ate this one up with the same enthusiasm I did Project Hail Mary a year ago.

My biggest grievance with the story was the undeserved demise of Ian Malcolm and all the raptors that just wanted to have a good time and make some raptor babies.

Some frustrating inconsistencies for me, but a solid book. Straightforward, exciting, and sometimes gruesome. Would read again. 

Some readers will be turned off by scientific rambling on topics from ecology to computer science; printed graphs of computer screens and lines of code; and several cautionary, moralizing monologues about scientific progress.

Ahh, sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension (that taught me more about science and maths than several years of GCSE study)

Absolutely one of the most hard-core, bloody, traumatising books I've read in ages. Don't let Spielberg fool you. Here's some examples:

A man gets blinded by acid, disembowled and has his head eaten by a Dilophosaurus

Multiple people get horrifically mutilated and killed by raptors

Actual infant consumption

So yeah don't say I didn't warn you lol.

This is my all time favourite book! although it has its flaws I find myself repeatedly coming back to it regardless of my mood. I find it’s perfect to get me out of a reading slump. It has a good amount of science integral to the storyline that makes recreating dinosaurs believable.

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