love me some anti-capitalist critique in fiction. really glad they didn’t make lex 8 years old or so damn annoying in the movie. was also interesting to see the choices in what things worked between book and movie.

É bem diferente do filme, mas é muito bom, e o final, em comparação com o do filme, foi bem diferente, e eu achei até mais triste, mas teve detalhes do livro que foi compreensível eles não quererem colocar no filme

I was very engulfed with the story since it was up my interest. The starking difference with the novel was very eye opening! 

This is so nicely written and the fact diagrams and codes were utilized it felt so real and something that woukd happen today.

Also raptors are scary

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.
