This was just the book I needed right now!
I enjoyed listening to the audiobook and the similarities and differences that it had with one of my all time favorite movies. I will say that the film is so ingrained in my memory at this point; I couldn’t help but visualize scenes directly depicted from it while I was reading. But it was such a well written and amazing book! The perfect pace of science fiction, horror, and thriller.
I also liked how scientific the book was! It delves a little deeper into the genetics, the corporate greed, the idea of life and humanity’s effect on the planet as a whole. Ian Malcolm got on my nerves with his whole “chaos theory” schtick, but it was made better when I visualized young Jeff Goldblum as the character. Can’t help but root for him, in a way.
When Dinosaurs ruled the earth!
