I don't know if this is controversial, but I slightly enjoyed this book over the original😅

I loved the more naturalistic setting for the dinosaurs, the slight mystery surrounding why they existed on Isla Sorna and what was going on with the ecosystem. Also I felt like the tension was higher in this one?? I just generally preferred the concept I think, but that's not to say that the original wasn't really good (I've only given a .25 star difference between the 2 books anyway)

Also, Sarah is by FAR my favourite character across both books!! She was amazing. I really enjoyed reading this classic duology and now I'm going to need more dinosaur and sci-fi books in my life.
