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!

The only reason I am not giving this a 5 star like I originally thought is because of Ian Malcolm (IYKYK). Overall though I really enjoyed this book. I like the book better than the movie and that isn't always the case for me. I defiantly recommend it if you like sci-fi and dinosaurs.

I enjoyed comparing this to the movie. Where the movie streamlined the plot well, the book dives into more ethical questions and gives more science behind everything. While I liked some of the extra details and explanations, it did slow the pacing in some chapters. The outcomes for parts of the plot and certain characters differ from the movie, so it did feel like a fresh experience. If you do decide to pick this up, be forewarned that the deaths are brutal.
