I love this book. I'm surprised I don't own it actually. It was so well written that I had a nightmare about being chased by dinosaurs. That's the first time I've ever had a book create a dream. There are differences between the movie and the book as always but in my opinion, the movie still did a good adaptation. It had that scientific vibe in it which is always a plus in my book.

This is my first book by the author but it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed it. It’s heavy on the science but I love that.

I wasn’t sure if it would be redundant to read this having watched the movie 20+ times growing up, but I was blown away. Paced super well and was full of surprises (differences from the film) — can’t recommend this enough.
