The Jurassic Park sequel. It’s got typical Crichton fun adventure science…but it doesn’t hold up next to the original. To be fair not many books would though. I will say the whole toxic saliva that makes you kind of not care while the dinosaurs eat you alive is rather terrifying.

I'd forgotten about the saliva. That is pretty gruesome.
I do agree that I didn't find it as good as the original. I honestly don't think I've ever revisted it; whereas with Jurassic Park, I've reread it multiple times. Maybe it's time I give it another chance. It's been over twenty years since I read it. Maybe I'll like it better this time.

The part where all they have got against a T-rex is some device that makes a loud noise was stupid. Why not just take a rifle along to shoot them?

I remember not liking it the first time I read it, but it's grown on me.

I feel like they were there to get live samples, eggs and such. Honestly its hard for me to remember what the specific goal of the two teams was since it seemed like they immediately dissolved into running for their lives. The noise machine worked...until it broke. And it led to one of my favorite parts where a guy tests the 'vision based on movement' theory and gets bitten in half.

They still reference that in the Jurassic World: Dominion trailer. Except it's not even a Tyrannosaurus, it's a Giganotosaurus. Different species and entirely different family. Unless it's a joke and it doesn't work in the actual movie.
