I am a huge fan of the first Jurassic Park film, but I despised this book. I had to push myself through the second half of this book. The science is interesting and the speculation about dinosaurs seemed well informed. 

But this whole book is so depressing. So many characters die and the deaths are always described very graphically from the perspective of the dying characters. It’s not a fun time there isn’t much of a plot beyond ha ha look at humans fuck up nature.
