This was very good and I liked that they basically immediately say "No, not like Jurassic Park."
I guessed some of what was going on, but not enough to figure out the whole twist.
Really good overall.

It's a decent story
But there's a bit of glazing over
Parts that don't need to be there
Assumptions are made

Very fun Preston book. A disappearance at an elite park that caters to the wealthy turns out to be quite the mystery, as detectives navigate around mammoth animals that have been brought back from extinction using DNA and Crichton-like methods. Fun, quick read.

Ugh. This book. The characters were all stereotypes. Plus the author had a character in this book is read another of his books and say "it was such a good book" I mean come on!
