 I don't think I need to remind anybody how the scientists in Jurassic Park resurrected dinosaurs by extracting fragments of DNA from ancient blood-sucking insects trapped in amber. That was one of the only things about this book that I liked. The other thing was how the consulting mathematicians showed the island's computer experts how they were misusing the data from remote cameras to keep an accurate count of how many dinosaurs were actually on the island. Other than that, I thought it was uninteresting. It seemed obvious to me that it was written for the express purpose of being a blockbuster in New York Times bestseller and not so much a good science fiction book. And I felt the same way about the movie.
