awesome!
i don't know why it took me so long to read this book. I love the whole Franchise, I watched all the movies (especially the older ones, I can't count how many times I've seen the very first film) and I also loved the book! The scientific bits that were not in the movie were super cool to learn (despite the inaccuracies but then again, the book is over 30 years old). However, I have a bone to pick with everyone out there who called Lex annoying. Did we read the same book? The one where a SEVEN year old, a small child just old enough to have recently started school, is attacked by a HUGE animal, almost K*LLED more times than I can count, a child that is probably deeply traumatized from the experience, behaves like... well, like a child? Sure, she's coughing when she's not supposed to, she asks "stupid" questions, she is scared - because she's a little kid. I did not find her annoying in the slightest, on the contrary, I really felt for her. Don't tell me you weren't afraid of anything when you were seven!
