Summary: Simply Amazing!
Review: Well, I just loved this book. It had lots of action and suspense. I would stay awake until 12:30 each night just reading the book because I wasn't able to put it down. It was a perect continuation to Jurrasic Park (another great book). Despite a few dull moments at the beginning, overall it kept my attention throughout the entire book. I would reccomend it to all readers. :)

Summary: THE LOST WORLD LIVES UP TO ITS COUNTERPART!!
Review: I never thought Crighton could do it again, but this book is every bit as good as "Jurassic Park". What a sequal! Here I go again...The movie does not even compare! Do not be put off by the movie! If you haven't read Jurassic Park, read it first before you read this one, you will appreciate it more. After reading boths books in this series I can say the only disappointment is at the ending of the "Jurassic Park" book .... I was alittle surprised when Crighton never addressed this in the beginning of the "Lost World", what a fantastic story that would make. Aside from that, read this book, you will not be disappointed!

Summary: Much better than the movie
Review: While not as good a novel as Jurassic Park, this book is 1000 times better than the movie adaptation (if you can even call it that) It's a good read, the ending seems a bit uninspired, but this book kept me in suspense for the better part of a day. If you like Jurassic park (or other Crichton books) you should read this one too

Summary: The lost world is ........GREAT
Review: In this novel by the great Michael Crichton, a crew goes on a rescue mission to find their friend that they think needs help on an island full of dinosaurs. Well, their friend doesn't and they are trapped. Will they Survive?..... A good book. It introduces new dinosaurs and theories of extinction. Let a 10+ year old read this because it is scary at some parts and there is bad language in it. It is good for dinosaur fans and it is very educational.

Summary: Tis a sad tale
Review: I still can't figure out why Steven Spielberg did not follow the book in Jurassic Park and Lost World! If he did, the movies would have been alot better. Anyways, Lost World is very very good. Continues alot the same as Jurassic Park, kinda same characters and so forth and so on. Story very very good, I couldn't put this one down.

Summary: Michael Crichton is an artist with words and worlds
Review: This could have been a formula book and maybe the skeleton is formula. Toss in people with different personalities and backgrounds. Isolate them and let them act and react to real and imagined dangers. That is where the parallel ends. The book comes up with excellent theories and speculation. The characters vary differently than you would guess under stress. And there is a cliffhanger about every five pages with does not give you much time to get your breath. The descriptions of the environment give you enough details to get a good mental picture of what is going on. He does not over describe things to the point that you fall asleep listing to irrelevant details. This story is full of thrills; great questions and holds your attention to the end.

Summary: So good it's SCARY!!!
Review: This book was wonderful. The movie didn't follow the book's storyline by any means at all, and I was sick when I saw it. The book had such an interesting plot, and I couldn't put it down. The main characters of the book don't even make it to the movie version (Dodgson??). I think that the book was awesome, but the movie was an insult. Thanks alot Speilberg.

Summary: Selling out for Hollywood
Review: If you loved the first book (as I did), you may [not like] this one. This book was clearly written as a sequel to the film and not the original book. The characters here include survivors from the film who had died in the book and [mirror images] of the others. This book was released quickly after the success of the film, which also says a lot...If you can overcome the Return of the Living Dead and great reasoning overturned, then go ahead and buy the book...Just watch the movie, that was the intended product anyway.

Summary: Re: Michael Crichton at his best!
Review: First there was Jurassic Park, the book- then the movie. Then The Lost World book, then the movie. But, alash! I think these two books are the first books that I find better then the movies. And now, we have Jurassic Park 3 coming out as a movie. Please, Michael Crichton- write a book on it! These two books may not have started on my top ten list out of the five hundred books I have (trust me, I am not joking!) but now that I have read them, if I could put them higher then the top ten, I would. These aren't my avarage kind of books-I'm more into Charmed, and Sweet Valley, and Buffy- but out of all of the books I have read out of those, none of them have kept me on my toes- or had me as high as Jurassic Park. I got Jurassic Park and The Lost World for my 14th birthday, and I think- apart from my mobile phone!- these two books, out of all the books I got, were my most treasured gift. I have been a Jurassic Park fan sincr the movie came out, and I was eight. My mother went to see the movie and she didn't like it that much- so I knew I would love it! Oh, sorry Mum- I don't want to insult you. When I read The Lost World, I kept getting visions of the movie, just as I did when I read Jurassic Park. But, I tell you, this book was better; it was something I liked that I could read!
