1. Kemunculan Sabertooth yang membuat cerita terasa lebih berwarna. Masalahnya, masa hewan itu berasal dari zaman Jura? Kalau enggak, kenapa dimunculkan? Apa itu sebagai tanda Jurassic ke depannya bakal dibawa ke mana begitu?

2. Kemunculan Kash sebagai antagonis yang benar-benar kejam untuk ukuran novel anak.

3. Kemunculan ayah Kenji sebagai bos perusahaan yang mempunyai proyek jahat di akhir cerita. Hal itu membuatku terperangah karena kira-kira apa yang bakal terjadi kalau ayah dari salah satu campers yang mempunyaj visi dan misi berlawanan dengan mereka sebagai musuh.

4. Ben kehilangan banyak adegan di Season 1 dan 2 dibandingkan dengan tokoh lainnya karena dia sempat dianggap tewas. Selain itu, dia seorang lone wolf, jadi sering menghilang di Season 3. Setelah enggak ada Bumpy dan berada di pulau baru, mau enggak mau dia cuman bisa mengandalkan teman-temannya. Kali ini character development Ben berkaitan dengan kegiatan bersosialisasi dengan teman-temannya. Dia bisa memberikan strategi dan memimpin. Ben akhirnya menyatu dengan tim.

5. Di sini digambarkan kalau seorang pemimpin harus tetap menanyakan pendapat teman-temannya sebelum mengambil keputusan meskipun ia sudah paham karakter mereka. Hal ini diperlukan supaya ia tahu kondisi anggotanya. Sama halnya dengan Darius yang akhirnya tahu bahwa Yaz enggak baik-baik saja.

6. Akhirnya, ada salah satu anggota keluarga campers yang mengambil tindakan.

➖️

1. Aku memang tertarik bagaimana reaksi dinosaurus dari zaman dahulu kalau mereka bertemu teknologi modern. Masalahnya, hal yang lebih menonjol di sini itu para BRAD, airlock transparan, dan bioma macam-macam. Jadi, ini lebih cocok disebut dunia teknologi maju daripada dunia hewan zaman Jura.

2. Aku ingin cerita PTSD mereka diperpanjang, khususnya Yaz, karena penyakit mental itu enggak mudah disembuhkan terutama ketika orang itu terus-menerus berhadapan sama hal yang membuatnya tertekan dan enggak ada waktu untuk istirahat. Penyelesaian trauma Yaz tanggung, tapi seenggaknya penjelasan gejala pas traumanya datang itu bagus. Untuk penyelesaian trauma Ben sudah bagus karena ada arc dia tanding ulang sama Pteranodons dan berhasil menang.

3. Aku bukan seorang ahli dalam hal teknologi. Jadi, aku mau bertanya, apa meng-hack robot dari orang genius kayak Kash itu cuman mengotak-atik kabel apalah itu? Mungkin Brooklynn memang pintar dalam berbagai bidang, tapi aku merasa kurang diyakinkan sama adegan itu.

4. Demi keberlangsungan alur, aku tahu kalau keenam remaja mau enggak mau harus berakhir di pulau aneh itu. Tapi, aku ingin dideskripsikan lebih lanjut tentang pulau itu sehingga lebih masuk akal kenapa mereka bisa sampai di sana dan bukan di pulau lainnya. Misalnya, jaraknya dengan Isla Nublar seberapa jauh dan kondisi cuacanya bagaimana.

5. Percintaan antara Kenji dan Brooklynn yang sama tanggungnya kayak di TV series-nya. Kalau di TV series, belum sempat aku mencerna, aku sudah dijejali dengan adegan mesra mereka yang kemudian membuatku geli sendiri. Aku pun merasa hubungan itu merusak hubungan wholesome persahabatan campers. Kalau di novel, ceritanya terlalu singkat dan cepat. Seenggaknya ada deskripsi yang membuatku mengerti arti tatapan Brooklynn ke Kenji, jadi aku sadar kapan Brooklynn tertarik ke Kenji sebagai lawan jenis. Jadi, rasanya enggak tiba-tiba. Tapi, aku masih belum bisa diyakinkan kenapa Brooklynn bisa suka Kenji. Karena sebelum-sebelumnya, aku merasa Brooklynn menganggap Kenji itu hanya sebagai sahabat atau kakak cowok yang menyebalkan, lucu, dan bisa diandalkan ketika benar-benar dibutuhkan.

While I enjoy science fiction as much as the next person and am always up for any book featuring dinosaurs, this book left me disappointed. That said, I've never watched the Netflix series so maybe I'm missing something that its fans found compelling. Instead, what I read here seemed to be a series of short sentences and short paragraphs strung together almost as though they were simply describing what was happening in simple fashion. Often, one section followed one or two of this band of six teens and then switched off to the other group in a rather jarring style. While I appreciated the youngsters' attempts to thwart the evil, morally bankrupt Kash, at every turn, the kids always seemed to avoid disaster just by the stroke of good luck or good timing, something I found very hard to believe. I liked some of the exchanges between the characters and their fondness for the dinosaurs, but I wish there had been stronger character development, more description, and that the adults in the book hadn't seemed so helpless or clueless. Poor Dr. Turner just seemed to be standing by and letting all this happen around her. Surely, that wouldn't be the case for an adult who is so well-educated and capable. UGH! Still, I know the series' fans won't regard the book in the same way that I have. I had to force myself to trudge through it to the very end.

My son and I have enjoyed each Camp Cretaceous book, but this was one but this one wasn't as enjoyable as the previous three. The biggest issue is the chapters are far longer than the previous books. My son found this one much harder to read. Each chapter could have been broken up in two and given him a better reading experience. He also got bored with the "romance" stuff.

More dinos, less "liking", and shorter chapters in the next installment please.

The novelization of series four of the animated show. The gang have escaped Jurassic World, but are washed up on a new island that gives them new, nastier problems. Skimpily written, it seems clear that the writer has become bored with these books and wants to get them over with as fast as possible. An uninspiring read.

I LOVE the Netflix series whole-heartedly and as much as I love these book adaptations they don't hold the same oomph as the series. (also small side note when is book 5 coming out???!!!) Slightly disappointed to be honest but it's cool for a light and easy read after watching the show!

Underwhelming, as was to be expected.

Behling couldn't perform the miracle of turning the very rubbish season 4 into a good book. But he saved us from most of the awkward and useless Kenlynn scenes and that's a win.
