I wanted this to be better than it was. The concept was great, the execution was a flop. I didn’t like the way Douglas Preston described characters and situations. The putting down of Jurassic Park when that was clearly his inspiration left a bad taste in my mouth. The blatant sexism was also obnoxious.
