The characters are much less compelling. The whole book just feels forced. Maybe you can only read the Lost World once to appreciate it, or maybe I've discovered the reality of the book with more mature eyes. (  ) SendersName | Nov 10, 2009 |  The Lost World is a lackluster, forced sequel to Jurassic Park, a childhood favorite of mine. The fact that I could identify it as such at the age of twelve, when the book was first published, should not bode well for the prospective reader. (  ) BGP | Nov 6, 2009 | While I liked this book, I wasn't in awe of it like I was with Jurassic Park. The original dinosaur concepts presented in the first book were continued and expanded upon. I felt as though this book was unnecessary, especially since half of the book explained many key points of the original in a effort to make this book capable of being a book that could stand on its own. It was longer than it needed to be considering the amount of wholly new material. ( ) JennSicu | Oct 25, 2009 | This book is what the second movie should have been. It is five years later, and Ian Malcolm is actually alive. He is contacted by Richard Levine, a rich man who is obssessed with finding a "Lost World", or a place where extinction hasn't occurred. Levine wants Malcolm's help, which he gives reluctantly. Then Levine gets stuck on Site B's island, so Malcolm must go rescue him. This book's energy doesn't stop. I really enjoyed it. (  ) aharey | Oct 10, 2009 | This is the follow-up to Crichton's best selling novel, Jurassic Park. It certainly wasn't as entertaining as the 1st novel, but if you enjoyed Jurassic Park, it is not a complete let down. Crichton was a masterful writer, and the novel readers of the world have felt a loss by his passing, RIP Mr. Crichton. ( )1  Ti99er | Sep 23, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
