Possibly the best book in the world,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lost World (Paperback)
This is a must read book. The story follows on from where Jurassic Park (the novel) left off. The Lost World is an action packed adventure from start to finish. If you have seen the film then you have to read the book to see how superior it is. If only the film had been made to the same story line as the book.

Jurassic Park Part II,
By
This review is from: The Lost World: A Novel (Hardcover)
There are many fine reviews already listed so I will be succinct. This book is a sequel to Jurassic Park. We join the cast of characters six years after the dinosaur island park disaster in which humans fought off genetically engineered replicas of prehistoric animals. One survivor of that attack is now a member of a group who returns to the area, another island called Site B, and meet up with the remaining dinosaurs. The book does have strong language and violence. Even though it fills like you are reading 'Jurassic Park' again, it is worth reading.

A lecture in screenplay format,
By
This review is from: The Lost World (Paperback)
Jurassic Park was a good read, and more complex than the resulting film. But, having read a few Crichton books since then, I'm getting tired of his constant lecturing. All "big" science is bad; scientists don't appreciate the complexity of nature, and their hubris gets them into trouble. Michael, we get your point - now please quit grinding the same bloody axe.
He obviously wrote this one with his eyes on Hollywood - it's a series of set-pieces which make an entertaining if bland and predictable screenplay. Throw in all the right stereotypes (the stuffy scientist; the female field researcher who saves the day and overcomes prejudice; the two cute kids...) and it's just made to go with popcorn. Or perhaps the book was adapted from the screenplay - I really couldn't tell. Either way, you might as well just watch the movie and buy a better book- you could do worse than Arthur Conan Doyle's book of the same title.
