Some frustrating inconsistencies for me, but a solid book. Straightforward, exciting, and sometimes gruesome. Would read again. 

Some readers will be turned off by scientific rambling on topics from ecology to computer science; printed graphs of computer screens and lines of code; and several cautionary, moralizing monologues about scientific progress.

Ahh, sweet man made horrors beyond my comprehension (that taught me more about science and maths than several years of GCSE study)

Absolutely one of the most hard-core, bloody, traumatising books I've read in ages. Don't let Spielberg fool you. Here's some examples:

A man gets blinded by acid, disembowled and has his head eaten by a Dilophosaurus

Multiple people get horrifically mutilated and killed by raptors

Actual infant consumption

So yeah don't say I didn't warn you lol.

It's a pretty scary book. I only reread this because I barely remembered the plot and it scared the shit out of 10-year-old me. It still scared me now but I didn't cry so that's a win.

If you're looking for something with a thorough buildup followed by a steep descent into madness, then this book is 10 billon percent for you.

However, my major gripe with the book is how the author wrote the female characters.

Lex was incredibly annoying

but what annoyed me the most was how

Ellie was sexualised and sorta... overlooked? By other men.

Anyways I found most of

the character deaths

to be well-deserved so yay.
