 ... of scientists drawn together by circumstance, and two more young kids, including a precocious dinosaur mad boy for the film audience to identify with. Actually it's the kids that grate most - crow-barred in to the story as they are: at least the kids in the first book had a plausible reason for being there, and didn't come with some off-the-peg lessons about self esteem. The action is all you might expect, but the characterisation and dialogue is a bit thin, especially once they reach the island - perversel...more

Premium Review The Lost World - Michael Crichton: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! (434 words)
by Karaoke_James - written on 16.04.01 (Very useful, 89 readings)
Rating:

If I were rating this book on originality, I would give it zero out of five. The story offers us another island, another investigative group of scientists and another load of slavering dinosaurs on the loose. In short, it is practically a complete rerun of 'Jurassic Park'! The 'other' island in question is 'Site B', the actual breeding ground for the dinosaurs that populated Jurassic Park. The chaos mathematician Ian Malcolm (the character played by Jeff Goldblum in the film 'Jurassic Park') states that he always believed in the possibility of the existence of such a place - he felt the births that were witnessed on the original ...

PLEASE REMEBER: DO NOT MISTAKE THIS BOOK FOR THE FILM! The film, admittedly is terrible. It was a much eagerly anticipated sequel to the film, "Jurassic Park", but the storyline was poor, the action concepts were pathetic, and the ending, well, what was Spielberg thinking? It disappointed everyone, including myself, especially so, as I had already read the book "The Lost World" in anticipation of the film. Quite frankly I wish I had not seen the film as it is a disgrace to Michael Crichton's renowned name in writing and no doubt put an awful lot of people off of reading the book and the excellent ideas behind the original "Jurassic ...

Reading Jurassic Park left me much keener than I had expected to read the sequel, and my local library helpfully provided a copy of The Lost World to read on my lunch break. Oops. Instead of picking up where the first book had left us - dinosaurs migrating into the mountains of Central America - this wanders off in a totally unexpected direction - the 'secret lab' island that was apparently the flip side to the shiny science showcase of the original island. I deduce from other people's comments that this is a follow on to the film, not the book. Unfortunately it does feel that having had the one blockbuster success, this was intended to hone the ...
