The Lost World

Plot inconsistencies, resurrections, science lies, and human flaws aside, this is a fun and riveting read and I recommend it to anyone.

Oh, ok, it only took me three months to read this. The book was good, I've just been too tired and kept going to sleep instead of reading. My only criticism is that I didn't like the way this whole story resolved in like the last 6 pages.

Some good moments but mostly sentimental

So I saw both the first movies before reading this and the original Jurassic Park book. Both are quite different from the films and so that makes me feel conflicted as I loved both of the movies.

I do like the philosophical bits by Malcolm and some of the more science-based explanations behind the dinosaur behaviour and such though.

It's written relatively well, not mind-blowing, but easy to read which I guess is good writing.

If you've read the first or seen both films, I'd give this a read as its fun to see the differences and how Michael Crichton intended the story to be told.
