Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Hi friend
After I finished reading the book, I had no idea what happened and had to read online what the actual plot was. I felt stupid for missing a lot of the obvious things.

Still, I enjoyed reading it because I thought it did a good job of describing how going through abuse and addiction feels like.
