This was such an amazing book in every way. At no point when reading did I ever think about the writing. It just flowed so smoothly and easily that it didn't even register. The story was wonderfully complex and well crafted. For so many moving pieces, everything fit together and was easy enough to follow. I had no issues following the science of this story, and I'm not a science person in the slightest. The only science I did struggle with a little was when Ian Malcolm went on long tangents about chaos theory, and I think he was meant to be hard to follow.

I really enjoy the movie and they're very similar, but this book just has so much more depth and complexity. It's an incredibly worthwhile read.

The only part I didn't enjoy was the little girl, Lex, who was insufferable. I understand she's a small child and small children are often quite annoying, but it was actually painful to read. I honestly considered knocking the book down a star just for how much I hated her presence, but other than her, I had no complaints.
