I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I loved this book so much when I was a teenager that I immediately re-read it after finishing it. The prose and pacing was sublime. Although I know some wouldn't agree. But the story just seems to meander in a delightful way. Another thing I enjoyed is the "stories with stories" aspect. I won't say more about that in order to spare you from spoilers, but I'd recommend a re-read asap if you're up for it.
