This book has more good things than bad about it. It is a lot like the first in meny ways the bad things about this book is that it has a lot of inipropreat laguage in it and takes a long time to pick up. The pros about this book are that there are new and old carictars in this one and it looks like they are more redy than they will ever be to go to the island. I highly recomend this book to readers that like sify thrillerdrillers.Show Less

I thought that this wasn't to bad a book, however, I didn't find it as good as Jurassic Park. Though as usual I enjoyed M.C.'S imagination and how he brings it to life but I felt that the overall story and how it plays out was a little slow and not very entertaining. The movie had a lot more suspense and kept you going. This book was not suspenseful, and in the bits that it was it wasn't for very long. Jurassic Park I thought was really good but if you are expecting a follow up of that book then you don't want to start this book till you get that out of your mind.Show Less

    A thrilling adventure

    Ever hear that annoying phrase "the book is way better than the movie"? Prepare yourself because that is exactly what I'm going to say here. The book is absolutely amazing. Events unfold that weren't featured in the film and the story is alternate from what was in the film. I eagerly wait for Jurassic Park (the first novel) to release on the Nookbook list. Oh and "the book is way better than the movie". ;)

    Very Well Written

    I must say that it is terrible Michael is dead, as he was a talented author. His books are fascinating. They open up another world. They open up questions such as"what if....?"

    Soooooooooo amazing

    This is seriously one of my favorite books! I actually read this last summer. I read the first one back in 2007 and thought it was absolutely amazing and I did not want to finish The Lost World, but after reading it, I like it better than Jurassic Park!!! It is soooooooo good. Seriously.

    It no longer shares the originality and smarts of Jurassic Park but it still delivers plenty of action.

    Edge of your seat amazing!

    Think the movie was good? I have just started reading for fun for the first time in 15 years and it is all due to My new Nook Color and this book was my first read. 100% amazing, never thought I could be in suspense from a book!

    Amazing!!!

    It is one of the greatest books i've ever read. Too bad Crichton died. His novels are great.

    IT was very exciting and thrilling. Kept you on the edge of your seat.

    I thought it was very well written. Crichton really showed his best in this second book of the Jurassic Park. As I have already said it keeps you on the edge of your seat. A real classic adventure novel. You'll love it.

    amazing read for any sci-fi fan

    This book is one of a kind. I actually read it before I read the first Jurassic Park book. I remember that when my 7th grade English teacher made us read a crap book, I snuck the Lost World underneath the desk and read it. I remember the teacher found out I was reading it and got pissed. It was fun watching her get pissed....and not to mention the thrill of The Lost World as well.

    AMAZING GREAT SEQUAL

    I saw the movie first and fell in love with the idea of dinosaurs walking again. I finally learned there was a book first and bought them both. I would highly recommend reading the books first if you haven't seen the movie. The first movie followed the book pretty good because Michael Crichton did the screenplay. The second movie however, seems like a totally different thing from the book. The book is much better and compelling. When the T-rex escaped through San Diego, that was interesting, but added drama for the movie. It never happened in the book. It is compelling and you will not want to put it down.


    I recommend any other Michael Crichton novels, movies, or television shows.
