Nice commentary -- think we're about on the same page. I haven't read this since the mid-90s. My major memories are that Crichton brought Ian Malcolm back from the dead (as you mention) and that a momma T. Rex fed some dude to her babies in a nest (So and so fell...). Oh, and I remember that Malcolm took an awkward chapter to lecture the other characters about Crichton's opinions on evolution and extinction. The book was okay I guess, but it was pretty much just more Jurassic Park. Have a good one!

Crichton definitely liked hearing himself talk through Ian 😂.

I love that you talk to the tech. I'm usually incredulous with tech and if it continues to be a pain, I yell at it. It's very therapeutic. LOL I dnf'd The Lost World when Malcom showed up. He died in the first one. What was Crichton thinking?! this is one incidence where the movie was better. I think the movies were great for their time. Great seeing you. I didn't see dirty laundry. What were you talking about? 😂

That doorway leads to the bathroom and the hamper sits right there. Thought people were getting a peak of the dirty clothes 😂. Ian coming back was pure laziness which as I read more of his later stuff, it feels like he doesn't try as much. He knew he was selling a bagillion books regardless if they are entertaining.

@@booknikYT such a shame. I think that's what is called a sellout? Not sure if he had morals to start out with, but maybe he thought 'here's my chance to retire big" ? As a nonwriter, I'd take advantage of the popularity and have a nest egg to retire on. 🤷♀
