love me some anti-capitalist critique in fiction. really glad they didn’t make lex 8 years old or so damn annoying in the movie. was also interesting to see the choices in what things worked between book and movie.

É bem diferente do filme, mas é muito bom, e o final, em comparação com o do filme, foi bem diferente, e eu achei até mais triste, mas teve detalhes do livro que foi compreensível eles não quererem colocar no filme

Some frustrating inconsistencies for me, but a solid book. Straightforward, exciting, and sometimes gruesome. Would read again. 

Some readers will be turned off by scientific rambling on topics from ecology to computer science; printed graphs of computer screens and lines of code; and several cautionary, moralizing monologues about scientific progress.

A good read for anyone who loves the movies. But be warned, absolutely different from the movies. You will find the book much more darker and tense than what the movies depicted. As someone who gets frustrated from movies not adhering to books - this one didn't anger me. It's just another source material for the World of Jurassic Park.

This is not a children's book. But it's an excellent and well written story.

This is a case where the movie ruined the book for me. I understand why Lex was written the way they were but I absolutely hated reading anything they were doing. I found none of the characters charming and aside from the very violent scenes I was a bit bored. This was not a hit for me and I usually prefer stories that are slower to the scare.
