Rating: Summary: Not as good as the first, but definity great! Review: If you've read Jurassic Park, you have to read The Lost World:Jurassic Park. I won't give it away, but something really has survived! The Dinosaurs flourished on Site B (you'll find out what that is when you read the book) and can't figure out how. A reference team is sent to figure out why, but get into a great deal of trouble. Death-trouble! If your on the edge of your seat now, read the book!
Rating: Summary: A great book,not as good as the first,better than the movie. Review: The book was great! Much better than the movie. I don't know why they made the movie so horrible. Read the book and you will have very little appreciation for the movie. I recomend this action packed novel for anyone who's read Jurassic Park.
Rating: Summary: More Intelligent Than the First Book Review: Though the loose screen adaptation of this novel had entertainment value, it was a basically (and unfortunately) a dumbed-down version of what turns out to be a remarkable book that is superior to Jurassic Park (the book). I found the science in this book much more interesting than the action, there is one scene that is absolutely terrifying involving the boy and the velociraptors, that was certainly never considered for the movie adaptation because it was just too damned disturbing. My viewpoint by the way...these are the only two Crichton Books I have ever read.
Rating: Summary: Nothing But A Rip-Off Movie Waiting to Happen Review: The only real inspirational part of The Lost World is the climax with the chameleon-like carnosaurs, a part that didn't make it to the movie. The characters are oh-so-thin, the two kids are annoying, and it's obvious from page one that Crichton's just trying to visualize the movie this will be made into. Not one of Crichton's best.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT READ!!!!! MUCH BETTER THAN THE MOVIE Review: The book was and excellent read and much better than the movie.The plot was filled with action and keep me glued to the book page after page. I couldn't put it down. I recommend this book highly to all readers.
Rating: Summary: very very very much better than the abysmal film version Review: this book reads like a wonderful sequel to Jurassic Park. Why on earth did Stephen Spielberg produce that tired pap he perpetrated on film from such an obviously "written for screen" book?long live the book and my own imagination
Rating: Summary: ITS THE BEST!!!! Review: IT WAS THRILLING,CRICHTONS BEST BOOK EVER!THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE IT 1 OR 2 STARS ARE LOOSERS!PEOPLE WHO HAVENT READ IT ALL SHOULD READ IT ALL CAUSE THEY WILL LOVE IT. IT IS NOT LIKE JURASSIC PARK IT IS A LOT DIFFERENT.I THINK YOU SHOULD GET IT.I HIGHLY RECOMEND IT.IT IS ACTION-PACKED WITH THRILLS,IF YOU READ IT YOU'LL KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Rating: Summary: The Lost World is just as great as Jurassic Park,loved both! Review: I like the suspence of the Lost World ,it went into detail and has very realistic events, TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: A few small gripes Review: The writing was good but it seems he regretted the death of Malcom in the first book. It seems our favorite mathamatition is back. If M.C. wasn't such a good writer (normaly) I would have put it down then and there. The book was a tad confusing with so meny things going on at once. I'd say this sequal was a letdown and the movie was a letdown compared to the book so If I were Mike I would stop writing sequals to books that shouldn't have them.-Eli@
Rating: Summary: Book is a page turner! Review: I began reading this book with high expectations in part because i have read most of Crichtons previous books and i was 100% satisfied. The book had me turning the pages as fast as i could read. Crichton really brings to life the idea that we could one day have dinosaurs living on earth again. Crichton bring about a good point in this novel and that is that most good things have a dark-side. For Jurassic Park it is the Lost World and ohh....how dark it is. I highly reccomend the book, but the movie is nothing like the book. I had read the book before the release of the movie and i was dissappointed when i had to try my mind just to make connections in the plot of the movie to the book. READ THE BOOK, THEN THE MOVIE, BUT PRETEND THEY ARE DIFFERENT STORIES.
