Thanks! One of the things that inspired me to write this novel is the idea that Crichton failed to accomplish his two main goals: to show the JP catastrophe from the eyes of the children and to portray the animals as animals and not bloodthirsty monsters. By making my main characters teenagers and working hard on creating believable behavior for the animals (with raptorfarian's help, of course), I think I could finally do what Crichton had set out to do all along.
