reviewed Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton

An essential read

Excellent book! My only criticism is the long and didactic bouts of Ian Malcolm’s ramblings.

They’re part of his character (and quite different from Jeff Goldblum’s portrayal in the film—if that’s what you’re expecting), but they’re so protracted that they tend to derail the book’s momentum.
