corncake's review against another edition
4.0
I actually quite enjoyed this read, which surprised me since I have never been a dinosaur kid, nor the movie's biggest fan (at least compared to other fans, I still enjoy the movie). But low-and-behold I found the book more enjoyable than the film! The only change from the movie/book adaptation that I completely understood was the changing of Lex's age. I didn't hate her character in the book by any means (although some of her dialogue made me question if the author had ever been around a six-year-old), but I can understand that other readers might find her annoying.
Also Alan Grant actually likes children in the book!? ADORABLE!!
I do however think the author has a problem with repeating himself in several areas. This would conjure a sense of agitation while reading, feeling as if he didn't trust his reader's intelligence enough to remember details. The book can also be slow in some areas, but it does pull you back into the excitement rather quickly.
My overall thoughts: I found this book entertaining, immersive, and even quite horrifying in parts. Definitely worth the read!
