Not the fake out death of Malcolm. He obviously became too popular to keep dead but it’s kind of silly.

Decent so far. The prose has been a little strange for me so far. A little too much jumping around topics. I found the exposition to be delivered kind of clumsily. The premise feels pretty done-to-death but I am hoping that the world will be fleshed out in a new and interesting way.

LOVE the technical aspects. Old-school computer systems, biology, etc. top tier. A good portion of 4th iteration has been upsetting me though. The journey of Grant and the kids has had many encounters that should feel perilous and important but they are all given as summaries basically and the characters do not act as serious as they should for the situation.

Really good. I heard that the book is less empathetic to Hammond as the movie and I’m starting to see that with his mentioning of cutting out labor and his disconcern with the worker’s deaths. It is also interesting how this book seems to emphasize that corporate greed is the issue and not necessarily science gone too far like the movie.

Great so far! I like how all of the scientist feel real and you see their though processes and the little mistakes that are made along the way. I don’t understand the chapter formatting with the first and second iteration yet. Nor do I understand Malcom’s quotes on fractals. Hopefully I’ll get it all soon.

Excellent set up! I like the inner dialogue of scientists trying to figure out stuff against shady government entities.
