How far into the book are you? I quite liked it...
I have read the whole book. While it was thrilling, I think it was some kind of stupid, because if government agencies are chasing the bad guy, why don't they just send the marines to the island and the police to the national parc. Why don't they simply arrest the bad guy? Why don't the give our heros some body guards? And why choose a totally obsuce ways to kill someone, when there are much easier ways. Saying that scientific theories are just farytales in the appendix or that numerical computer models cannot be used to take an "experimental" look at theories does not help me further. All in all I would say that Crichton had a message and built a someway too big and complicated vehicle around it to transport it.
