This was a really enjoyable read! I didn't expect it to be so different from the movie though. I mean they changed entire characters and locations to make it work better in a shorter format. I am obsessed with the morphine ramblings of Ian Malcom. I wish he didn't get hurt so early in the book. Also, I know that Lex was like 5 and responded normally for that age, but I thought I was about to throw the book sometimes because of her. All in all, loved it. A little slow in the beginning.

me encanta este libro, cada re-lectura es descubrir cosas nuevas que antes había pasado por alto. creo que enseña muchas cosas sobre los animales, el comportamiento y el respeto que hay que tener por la naturaleza, y que todo el mundo lo debería de leer en algún momento.

I think I would've enjoyed this more had I not rewatched the movie a few months ago, and had I read it physically and not in an audiobook. The narrator was great, but I got a bit distracted at some points when scenes where the same as the movie and got a bit lost after. Also lex shut the fuck up

The movie is better but the book is interesting because you find out what they thought they had figured out about dinosaurs.
