Michael Crichton's novel "Jurassic Park" and its movie adaptation were so popular that Crichton's publisher and audience convinced him to write a sequel. In "The Lost World", chaos mathematician Ian Malcolm - presumed dead in the first…

An incredible Jurassic ride.. Crichton's research of dinosaurs and paleontology leave you feeling a little smarter. Great audiobook.

"The Lost World" by Michael Crichton was quite a surprising read for me as I had already watched the movie and expected the book to be like it. However, the book was very different. There were some character additions, some changes in the…

This being my second Michael Crichton book I now officially know that I really enjoy his writing. I actually like it more than Stephen King. Not that he's actually a better writer, just that Stephen King can be a bit much for me sometimes…

Worthy successor to Jurassic Park-hard to explain how Ian Malcolm died in Jurassic Park but comes back to life. Otherwise a great read.

Well this was a let down. Dare I even say it: the movie was better... The characters were one dimensioned, there was zero character development, and the story was forced, boring, and uninteresting. Don't waste your time on this.…

It was okay, not great. I definitely enjoyed the first one more. The inclusion of precocious children for instance felt very hackneyed.

Absolutely brilliant. Loved the first one, loved this one. I thought it was very wonderfully written. It was a bit odd about Ian Malcolm, but I like him. Definitely worth reading

Oddly, the only one of the main characters from Jurassic Park also found in this sequel, The Lost World, is Ian Malcolm, the expert on chaos theory who was killed off at the end of the first novel. We are supposed to believe that he is now…

Not as good as JP, but still fun. A nice allusion to Doyle and the fairly common 'lost world' early scifi novels (Journey to the center of the earth, lost manuscript, etc..)-even if this case it actually isn't. (A lost dream perhaps?)

Jerk totally ripped this title off from Arthur Conan Doyle.

Very good, but not as good as the first...there are not as many charecters so not as many deaths so you know who is going to survive and who is not...

I think this is the first book by Crichton that I haven't really liked. I thought the pace was quite slow and it took a while for it to pick up. His ability to mix science with the thrill of the plot is still there but somehow it failed…

Something has survived...! Michael Crichton's books are always full of suspense and they take place within a week or so. I really think I had better reread this cause it's been so long since I read it that all I can remember is that it…
