The Jurassic Park plotline is *really* condensed, and it feels like it focuses way more on the third act than anything. Because of that, there's not really a strong sense of arc. The writing is messy -- too wordy (and with too many big words for the LGB audience), often focusing on incidental details or ensuring every major character is fully named and established (despite mostly referring to characters by their jobs afterwards).
While, yes, I adore all things Jurassic Park -- even this -- it feels like a hastily put together project without enough care given to the story itself. The art and the IP are the two selling points, and while it's awright, it's *just* awright.
