![]() In Jurassic Park, scientists of today clone dinosaurs of the prehistoric past to serve as attractions in a modern theme park. ![]() ![]() Many people have read this book, along with its predecessor, Jurassic Park, and many people. From master thriller writer Michael Crichton: Two imaginative masterpieces of speculative science, full of adventure and larger-than-life characters. Nevertheless, the book's a great read and is rarely slow moving, even during those long explanations of theories. The author is Michael Crichton, and the book is The Lost World. I know I shouldn't be comparing it to the film, because that's just plain wrong, but it was a thought I had while reading it. Unlike with the first novel, which had several elements planted into the film, The Lost World was probably just flipped through and decided only to be used as a stepping stone. What displeases me is, if that is true, how they used nothing from the book to push the movie forward. The characters are shelled out greatly - I especially love the twist where Ian Malcolm realizes just how annoying know-it-alls can be.Īlthough, I read somewhere noting that Crichton was asked to write the sequel in order to make a second film. I don't know, maybe Michael Crichton has (had?) the ability to actually capture my attention even though half the stuff in his novels (I've only read this book and the first part) would normally put me to sleep. This book is amazing, though not the sort of book I normally read. ![]()
