✨3.5/5✨
I think the main thing I enjoyed about Jurassic Park, aside from a lot of the tense scenes, is the philosophical nature that it presents. I think the utilization of some characters to present this aspect was a really nice touch for me. That said, it was a little hard to find a lot of the characters likeable, and some feel, for the lack of a better term... lacking in how they were fleshed out.
While it is true, for me, that the book starts out really slow, once the plot thickens, it thickens greatly, and you are in then for a ride.
