I only found out about this series a few days a go and immediately had to give it a go. I presumed it'd be some half-assed kids book. Well I'm wrong. Some genuine love went into this short novel and its a pretty damn good prequel to the third movie.
These books are not related to the storyline of the Michael Crichton novels of Jurassic Park but are related to the movies so I judged them as that.

I really enjoyed the story expansion and found the book to be less silly than the movie set immediately after it. It's a pity this book isn't more well known because I think any Jurassic Park loving kid would enjoy it. It's not ground-breaking in any way but it knew what it wanted and is the best it could possibly be at it in my opinion.

It's not as the blurb on Goodreads describes btw. Its the first book, set before the events of Jurassic Park 3.
