A solid and fast-paced read. The science and tension both hit hard, and it holds up well even with what we now know. Hammond was an absolute lunatic — I can't imagine having that little concern for others, especially his own family. Some of the science is clearly dated now (the DNA recovery, frog gene stuff, and dinosaur behavior), but that doesn't take away from how well the story works as a warning about human arrogance and control. Still a great ride.

Meant to read a different novel of the same title. Decided to give it a try, but was unable to really get into it.

Read the first short story and it didn't hook me, so I moved on.

I was unable to handle the use of the made up language in the book.

Dragged on too much in the middle for my taste. Had a hard time understanding the UK slang and police acronyms.
