Thanks for your comment! I can see why the book was so loved, and I think what I really liked about the book over the movie was the emphasis on science being divorced from ethics being one of the biggest threats of our modern age. I highlighted many passages that went into that.
But for me, I sometimes have problem reading action sequences and understanding how everything fits together and imagining it in my head. So towards the end, where Crichton is focusing exclusively on the rush to safety (or death) for all the characters, I had a terrible time following along and it lead to just being extremely boring (for me).
I do want to read more Michael Crichton, his ideas are really interesting and I loved his deep dive into the science behind Jurrasic Park.
