Product Description:
"HARROWING THRILLS . . . FAST-PACED AND ENGAGING."
--People
It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end--the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.
There are rumors that something has survived. . . .
"FAST AND GRIPPING."
--The Washington Post Book World
"A VERY SCARY READ."
--Entertainment Weekly
Amazon.com Review:
Written in the wake of Jurassic Park's phenomenal box-office success, The Lost World seems as much a guidebook for Hollywood types hard at work on the franchise's followup as it is a legitimate sci-fi thriller. Which begs the inevitable questions: Is the plot a rehash of the first book? Sure it is, with the action unfolding on yet another secluded island, the mysterious "Site B." Is the cast of characters basically the same? Absolutely, from a freshly minted pair of cute, compu-savvy kids right down to the neatly exhumed chaos theorist Ian Malcolm (who was presumed dead at the close of JP). But is it fun to read? You betcha. Hollywood (and Michael Crichton) keeps telling us the same old stories for a very good reason: we like them. And the pulp SF formula Crichton has mastered with Jurassic Park and The Lost World is no exception. --Paul Hughes

I loved this book even more than its prequel, Jurassic Park. The movie disappointed me tremendously, as the plot and the characters are so completely different, it's a stretch to give the movie the same name. Many things in particular bugged me, but most of all was the relationship between Malcolm and Sarah Harding as it was portrayed in the movie. In the book, they are no longer lovers, but friends. Malcolm respects Sarah's knowledge about animal behavior, and her expertise saves their lives many ... Read More

After reading "Jurassic Park," I decided I should go ahead and read the sequel. I expected it to be nearly as good as the first or even better, but I was disapointed. I considered giving it 2 stars, but I personally enjoyed it, so I'll rate it: "Good" (3/5). First, I'll lay down some things I didn't like about "The Lost World":
1) The character development was poorly done. Nearly all the characters seem two-dimensional and consequently not as likeable as the protagonists in "Jurassic ... Read More

I enjoy most of Crichton's books, they are usually unique and intriguing . I was surprised that he was able to still have more story left after Jurassic Park, but this book was equally entertaining.

I just read this book in little over a week and I am a slow reader. Michael Crichton is a very good writer and this book is an easy read. It picks up a few years later after Jurassic Park. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was nice to read more about the dino behavior. Overall all a good fun read - you will be satisfied.

This book fell far from the tree when compared to Jurassic Park. I started reading it and had to put it down because it didn't hold my attention much but a few years later picked it up again and finished it. Just not as intense of Jurassic Park and seemed a little forced.
