Creatures extinct for eons roam Jurassic Park, and all the world can visit them—for a price. Until something goes wrong...
What I liked
✅ a wonderful blend of science and imagination
✅ addresses higher philosophical questions and modern-day issues
✅ a tight plot full of action, the right kind of violence, and tension
✅ I enjoyed reading about the narcissistic and self-absorbed John Hammond
What I didn't like
✖ THE CHILDREN, it is as if Crichton had never met a child before and has no idea how they talk, think or act
✖ the characters come off as a little two-dimensional as we're only given their professional backgrounds, not their personal life stories; they're really just vehicles for Crichton to explore his other grand ideas
✖ inconsistencies between how real palaeontologists work and the methods described in the book
✖ the headcount of the raptor at the end dragged the ending out and seemed unnecessary
