Breathtaking, highly engaging, and surprisingly thought-provoking! I didn't expect to love this as much as I did but what a ride reading this was. It's terrifying in all the right parts, owing to Crichton's excellent descriptions and worldbuilding. I also really enjoyed his social commentary, particularly on the scientific community. I may have to revisit the film adaptation which I haven't seen in ages, but even if you've already seen it, this book is definitely not one to miss!
