The Lost World: A Novel: A Novel Audiobook

" The Lost World - Better than the movie. Better details and back stories of characters and timeline that made better sense. I wish the movie had followed the first and 3nd book more closely - I think the movie would have sold more tickets in my opinion "

" Another good science companion with a disclaimer: it's f-ing Crichton. I kid, I kid. Seriously both Jurassic Park and The Lost World are good primers for the on-the-fence science-minded nerd. They're both strong parables that help define and refine the discriminating and skeptical mind. Stepping stones if you will. "

" My favorite Michael Crichton of all, mainly because his heroine, Sarah Harding, is one of my all-time favorite female characters of all time. So tough, smart, quick-thinking, quick-acting: "Sarah Harding never gave up. Never." Damn straight she doesn't. "

" Not as good as the first book, but not nearly as bad as the movie. "

" Great novel just like the first. Like the previous one, I read this one quite young so believe I didn't quite fully understand it. My love for dinosaurs means that I will pick this up again one day. "

" I thought it was better than the first book. "

" i read this and the first one three times by the time i was in 6th grade "

" Great read, though sometimes a little too scientific. "

" Followup to Jurrasic Park. Still pretty good. I enjoyed it when I was reading everything I could by Crischton. "

" Follow ups are usually not as good as the original blockbuster. I read this so long ago and I don't remember much about it. No way near as good as the first. "

" I preferred this to the original. Just as exciting, but also more thoughtful, scary, and a little less preachy. Malcolm is still annoying though. "

" I loved this book... and while it is vastly different from the movie (shocking) both are excellent and worth a read or watch in the own rights "

" Although it got off to a bit of a slow start, the pace picked up and this turned out to be an excellent "adventure". A completely different story to the one presented in the movie version. As always, the book is better. "

" I really enjoyed this one. It was easy to picture what was happening - perhaps because I've seen Jurassic Park, but I think even without having seen the movie I would have been able to visualize what was happening. "

" Don't shoot me, but what I love most about this and Jurassic Park is the chaos theory stuff. =) "

" another example of a classic crichton book. a good sequal equally filled with logic, suspense and adventure. "

" Crichton is a master at discribing smalles. "

" Well written but plot was too similar to original "

" Not as good as the first book but defiantly better than the movie! "

" Didn't even pick up where Jurassic Park really left off, could barely make my way through it! "

" It was not as good as the first one, but it was okay. It was pure entertainment and lacked the depth of the first. "

" I didn't know it was possible, but this book actually made me jump. Pretty much my favorite book by pretty much my favorite author. "

" Good, but not at the same level as J-Park. "

" Great science, average prose. The story felt forced, like it was written only because Jurassic Park was so popular and the publisher wanted a follow up. "

" Jurassic Park was better by far. By far. But this one was alright. "

" Much better then the movie and I loved the movies! "

" Doesn't compare to Jurassic Park. Has sequel-itis. "

" The book was SOOOOO much better then the movie. I look at birds differently to this day b/c of one of the first chapters. LOL "

" Dinos! Danger, action, adventure! More dinos! More money! "

" A continuation of "Jurassic Park." Fast read, interesting story. "

" It started out puzzling and capturing, a great book. Throughout the chapters it became even more puzzling and amazing and exciting until you reach this large climax that just goes&goes&goes until about the last page. Overall, it was well written and enjoyable, but very anticlimactic. "

" This book was good don't get me wrong but it feels kind of rushed and the ending was.....confusing to say the least. so yes i much prefer the first novel "

" good stuff on paleontological theory wrapped in a cheesy plot "

" A worthy sequel to an excellent novel. Even after this one ended, I was hoped Michael Crichton would visit this subject again. "

" Action packed, fast moving, and well written. "

" Preferred the first one, but this was still good. "

" A strange book about dinosaurs recreated on an island in Costa Rica. Not of of the best Chrichton's I've read. "

" Actually I read this book in portuguese "

" Pretty good. Most interesting than Jurassic Park because the animals weren't contained and I love Malcolm. All and all it was pretty good! "

" very interesting but it was a good for the family/friends to read "

" Disappointing, read it once ages ago, liked it better as a kid. "

" Good but not as good as Jurassic Park, a little disappointing compared to some other of his work. "
