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.

A more anti-capitalist, horror-like approach than the movies. Enjoyable and a must read for fans of the franchise.
