If you like the movie, you'll love this book! Really great read. I think my only complaint about this book is at times it's hard to keep track of the characters, and who is narrating / speaking at times.

Great book about the message of "just because we can do something, doesn't mean that we should"

Crichton is really good at creating tension, so I kinda wish he had stuck to that instead of writing in all the scientific explanation... I'm not a geneticist, but I found myself going "I don't think that's how that works..." several times. I'm going to re-watch the movie to see if I enjoy it as much as I did all those years ago.

If you love the movie but wished it was longer, scarier, and that the attacks/deaths were more brutal, read the book!

I'd heard that it would be scarier, but I had no idea what I was in for finally picking up the book. I caught myself holding my breath during several scenes and stayed up until my vision got blurry because things just kept happening and I didn't want to put it down.

I only have a couple complaints. Mostly that the first 100 or so pages were filled with so much boring bs. I was here for science, dinos, and horror, I did not care to read all the lawyer bs with throw away characters that could have been discussed later in small paragraphs. Nor the times the action was broken up for Hammond and Wu to have the same argument again and again. I will tell you right now, I started skipping those in the last 150 ish pages and the reading experience vastly improved.
