I'm not dissing JP. I love it. As a kid, I refused to read fiction and only read nonfiction until I got my hands on Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. It got a special place in my heart. But even though I love it, I'm forced to acknowledge its shortcomings. Improving upon where it failed is actually part of my inspiration. Michael Crichton wanted to portray his dinosaurs as real animals and not bloodthirsty monsters, an attempt that I think failed. I want to make his goal become a reality.
