• Title The Lost World
• Author Michael Crichton
• Year 1995
• Genre Thriller

Six years have passed since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park. In the years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end, the island has been indefinitely closed to the public, its park dismantled, the dinosaurs themselves destroyed. Or so it was thought. But something has survived. And when a team led by maverick scientist Ian Malcolm enters the mysterious 'Site B' to investigate, they are determined that this, at last, will be the end of the dinosaurs...

Thoughts

I don’t know if I’ve read this one before or not, I have read a lot of Crichton books but not for a long time. It was interesting how quickly everyone adapted to the world with dinosaurs - particularly compared to the first book where there was a lot of disbelief and explanations required. But it had all the thrills and gore that you expect from a Jurassic Park novel - much better than the film that bears its name!

Rating: 5 / 5
