i really like it, because it’s so much different to the film. it’s like a whole different story.
one thing that bugged me was that all the scientists, and really everyone was called by their title and their surname, apart from elle (the only woman) it kind of felt like they were looking down on her. the only other characters addressed by their first names are the children…

I read this book for three reasons
1. I fucking love dinosaurs
2. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time so I had too
3. I wanted an excuse to buy the Barnes and Noble collectors edition
I greatly enjoyed this book. I liked the little scientific facts throughout. I enjoyed the characters for the most part, though some could be annoying at times. I was shocked by the ending as I had only watched the movie so I wasn’t expecting certain things to happen. I’m truly curious how the next book will go now.

This was a delight to read. I'm a big fan of the movie adaptation (just the first one though) and the book did not disappoint. It was action-packed from beginning to the last page. Four stars for the original and fantastic story.
