2.5 starsMe for the first 60% of the book:Ive never really liked the second Jurassic Park movie. I changed my mind. There are worse things, like the book the movie was adapted from. I actually applaud the writers, because fixing this mess took talent. Guess it helped ignoring the entire book apart from two or three of the interesting dinosaur scenes. Overall this was nice to read because Crichtons writing flows even when Malcolm is in the middle of one of his chaos rants, but man, I wasNot even close to as amazing as the first book, but this still has some great dino moments and absolutely fascinating ideas.WARNING: This review contains unhidden spoilers for Jurassic Park.The sequel is a little slow to get into. It's been six years since the events of the first book, but it's all been covered up and the people involved deny having been a part of anything. Hammond has stayed dead (unlike Malcolm) so we need a new reason to head back into dino territory and that reason comes in
Note to self: if I am EVER stuck on an island with dinosaurs, do not be a jerk or I'm guaranteed to be eaten by a T-Rex. Also, if I ever need to look up anything on a computer, ask a kid because apparently adults cannot operate them.The Jurassic Park adventures are always fun. One thing I especially liked about this book is the woman scientist was one of the strongest and most competent of the team. (The movie drove me crazy because the so-called African animal expert took blood soaked stuff
Well this was in no way as good as the first one. The buildup was slow, the action was inevitable and the end left a open to interpretation which after all that was uncalled for. (view spoiler)[The sudden miraculous resurrection of Malcolm in the beginning was the first of many zingers dropped. Honestly given Malcolms life changing injury from book one I still have zero idea why he went back so willingly. I mean the true stars of this book are the kids under 15 who like in book one -thought with

Don't you take it away from yourself."The best thing about The Lost World is the crispy sequel it provides to the Jurassic Park duology. The book is set a couple of years after the first one and although there is only character from the original book (Ian Malcolm), it still uses a pretty number of characters to make it beautiful. I did find the story lacking a
I find a lot of people discuss the "resurrection" of Ian Malcolm in their reviews, and I'd like to throw in my two cents. It's true, Malcolm is mentioned as dead at the end of Jurassic Park. To be exact, Muldoon is telling Grant what's happened to everyone else as they're flying away in the helicopter: "What about Malcolm?" Grant said. Muldoon shook his head.The epilogue mentions the Costa Rican government not permitting the burial of John Hammond or Ian Malcolm (amongst a list of other ways
Michael Crichton always gives good science and when you add in dinosaurs, it should be great. But it's not. It's a slow burner, no action for the first 200 pages, just lots of science. However, I like the way he educates the reader and tries to add a story in there. For instance, I now know why human babies are totally helpless for the first couple of years of their lives, whereas some baby animals can walk a few minutes after birth - you'll have to read the book to find out why.It's very
