Because the book was awful. Less about the thrill of running through an out of control island populated by dinosaurs, more about Jeff Goldblum's character giving a moralistic speech about how genetic engineering is bad every other chapter.

Fuck me, I wonder if the reason I stuck with my genetics bachelors, even after I decided 3rd year it wasn't going to be my career, was partially in defiance against that book? Look at this horrible negative site teaching me things about myself!


You're insane. His books aren't usually terrific, but the movie was crap and the book was pretty good. Dinosaur version control was a great concept, and they KILLED THE MATH FAG. Oh, spoiler alert. Were you seriously pissed off that a sci-fi book might have an impossible premise? Jesus.
