thoroughly enjoyed this.
in some aspects, I prefer the movies to the book - especially in terms of the characters. they had more personality in the films. ellie sattler was written in a misogynistic manner and I appreciate how laura dern brought some life into the character. (and I also like how present she was in the movie. she was not entirely important in the text). after reading this, I can only assume crichton is a little misogynistic - it seems like the 2 female characters were throwaways compared to the endless men who had much more to offer other than their long, tanned legs, cutoff shorts, and tiny, delicate, womanly hands.
I loved the story. the writing was very plain yet engaging at the same time - I wasn’t quite bored of the language because the story itself was so compelling I just kept turning page after page without any problem. for the most part, I prefer the story in the book (excluding the lost world - I haven’t read that yet) to that in the film. I do think that the film is an excellent adaptation despite the discrepancies.
story: 5/5

writing: 3/5
