"Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way."

This is a classic for a reason! The writing is a great example of showing not telling. Several complex concepts are thrown around and explained, rather than treating the reader like an idiot. 
 I wasn't a fan of how repetitive the story was. They would encounter a dino, escape the dino, talk for a bit, then encounter a dino. Rinse and repeat.
  Otherwise, most of the characters were well written, even though there are a lot of them. The world building was incredible, and the deaths weren't overly gory. 

"We haven't got the power to destroy the planet- or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves."
