"This book is incredibly fast paced and keeps you hooked throughout. It is well written and and make you feel as if you are watching a motion picture but somehow and somewhere it lacks the magic set by its prequel "Jurassic Park". But it gives total entertainment to first time reader and definitely worth to give it a try!"

" Pretty good, but not as good as the first. Still worth reading though "
— Thea, 2/15/2014" Jurassic Park was one of my favorite childhood movies. Reading the book made me understand the true knowledge behind the whole book. This book is not only insightful but also a fun read. "
— Jordan, 2/12/2014" I noticed this book got quite a few bad reviews. Myself- I could barely put it down, it was very exciting and very scarey. Maybe that's because I read it when I was very young, and had an unhealthy fascination for all things dinosaur. My 20 year old self recommends it. "
— Annie, 2/10/2014" The sequel to the best-seller. Not as elegant as the first foray into resurrecting dinosaurs, but a suitable follow-up. "
— M, 2/6/2014" My third favorite Crichton book after Jurassic Park and Timeline. "
— Kimberly, 2/6/2014" The film was pretty good as far as blockbuster sequel films go. But the book is an even better sequel. I think I may have even liked this book slightly better than the original. Fun! just like the movies. "
— Philip, 1/26/2014" It was kinda boring. Random stuff happening. I feel movie was much better. "
— gagsays, 1/17/2014" The movie has nothing to do with this book. I thought this book, as great as Jurrasic Park is, eclipsed the first one. Oh yeah there's no King Kong story here. The movie BLOWS!!! "
— Russell, 1/16/2014" Saw this movie long time ago. Book was much more detailed. Just a good entertaining action book. "
— Gordon, 1/1/2014" Action packed, fast moving, and well written. "
— Caitlin, 12/24/2013" I went through a long Michael Chrichton phase in Jr. High maybe part of high school. "

His books have been adapted into fifteen films, most notably Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg which launched one of the highest-grossing entertainment franchises of all time. A remarkable and versatile talent, Crichton wrote and directed several films including Westworld, The Great Train Robbery (based on his novel), and Coma and created the television series ER. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
