Book Reviews of The Lost World
Book Review: "The Lost World" My two cents.
Summary: 2 Stars
I must admit that some parts of this book were very good, especially in the suspense department. But, aside from the obvious tension that grows as the story progresses, the book is pretty much void of any lasting literary quality, like most Michael Chirchton novels. Some parts have you on the edge of your seat, while other parts have you falling asleep. I think that "Jurassic Park" was somewhat better, since it had more of a plot and better characters. Why Chirchton decided to bring back Malcolm instead of Grant (or some other character who was more interesting in the original book) is beyond my comprehension.If you like a quick, easy read that's filled with action, but, as I said before, little or no literary quality, then this book is for you.

Book Review: 12 1/2 year old reader " Read it for my english class"
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was in my english my teacher told me to read this book. I thought in my head here I go another book about the same old thing pepole who what to know more about dinosaurs. But has I began to read the book I became upseve with it. The book takes place in the Ingen company when they decied that there not satisfated with the resech that went on in "Jurassic Park" and they send a reserch team to investagate. That's were everything goes wrong. I must warn parents that there are some adult matters in this book such as swearing describing pepole geting killed. But beside that it was a amazing book. But in my mind read "Jurassic Park" frist. Enjoy this book.Book Review: 3 1/2 Stars: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
I am not just talking about the book. I am talking about Crichton, this is the first book of his that was not a fresh idea. This book is essentially Jurassic Park, but with a couple of slight changes. I really disliked the fact that Crichton resurrected Ian Malcolm. He could have easily built the story around Grant, or Muldoon, or he could have introduced somebody new. The characters aren't well developed at all, the plot of the two is identical. It just can't measure up. All in all, this book is the weakest yet by Crichton, but still not too bad compared to everything else out there.Book Review: 430 PAGES OF EXCITEMENT
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you pick it up, you can't put it down. Crichton, the master of adventure, has written one of his best. The Lost World lives up to its expectations as the sequal to Jurassic Park. Definitely pick up your copy of this enthralling page turner before the movie comes around
