It’s not a big deal, but even though they know all the dinosaurs are females, they flip flop through the whole book say “he” or “she”.

I can't believe it's taken me so long to read this! It's almost the perfect book. The writing style is immersive and engaging, and the subject matter is obviously well-researched. I particularly liked the choices Chrichton made about what scenes to include, especially in the beginning to build exposition and suspense. Every detail felt important and necessary, but not in a way that was too on-the-nose. There wasn't much character development, unfortunately, but that's about what I expected from a thriller that's treated like an epic. I look forward to reading the sequel, and watching the movie for the first time in, like, a decade.

If you're going into this book expecting a play by play of the movie, you're in for quite a surprise. Maybe that's why this book was a bit of a tough read for me since I knew it was different from the film but...wow.

The fact just about everybody dies before they explode the island- I'll be honest, I was not expecting that whatsoever

Overall, it was a good read. Incredibly tense and had me on the edge of my seat multiple times. I'll be honest though, I 100% could have done without Lex's character in this book. Crichton really captured the spirit of an annoying child because I was ready to strangle her at so many points. Aside from that, solid sci-fi read!
