This is a fantastic dinosaur-based sci-fi book. Never before have I read a book with so much scientific detail where I felt like I was reading a non-fiction alongside a fiction. Now I understand there's famously some false information in here. However, some of the truly scientific things about chaos theory, the evolution of dinosaurs, possible behaviours of dinosaurs and how they may have tended to their young and so much more made this feel like a truly educative read.

It's not really like the film at all. The general idea is the same - Island of dinosaurs, people (all names the same) go to test it out and then havoc ensues. However, the storyline is vastly estranged and the characters are uniquely different creating what feels like a 4th Jurassic Park film (excluding JW and JW:FK as they are a new franchise). I highly recommend for anyone wanting a good, fun, educational and enjoyable piece of dinosaur fiction
