Summary: !!!I'VE READ IT FIVE TIMES!!!
Review: What can I say it was the best book I've ever read. Michael Crichton is by far the most creative, knowledged and interesting writer... ever (well at least in my opinion). He really knows how to keep someone up all night not wanting to put the book down, "The lost world" is absolutly no exception. I reccomend that anyone not in coma should read this book and those in comas should read it asap when they wake up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It was a VERY good book. Some cliches though.
Review: I loved Jurassic Park and I think this is a great book too. But there were a few confusing elements. For example: Malcome died of a serious leg injury and yet he still seemed to make it to the sequel. Unless Grant learned to ressurect the dead, I don't think it made sense. Other than that, this book is a very well written book. Although, the main character ( Malcome ) has gone through some personality changes ( he is now alot more serious in this book than in the first and he has sort of a short fuse). All in all, it's a very good book. I reccomend it to mostly everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific !!
Review: This is one of the best books I ever read. It really takes you over. I got hooked since the very beginning and I just couldn't put it down ! What a shame about the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Sequel To A Great Book!!
Review: Lost World was a wonderful book. It was action packed and exciting. I could not put it down, a real page turner. A must read for any Crichton fan!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good book, but the idea was worn out after Jurassic Park (1)
Review: I thought that the Lost World was a great book, but not as good as Jurassic Park. The idea was also somewhat unoriginal after the first book. The Lost World also had a weak ending in my opinion.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Excellent Sequel To Jurassic Park.
Review: This book is a fast paced thriller that I found difficult to put down. Every time I thought this book was about to slow down another thing was thrown into it to keep me enthralled. I found it lacking something that its predecessor had though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lost World
Review: Michael Crichton returns to the world of Jurrassic Park, where supposedly all of the dinosaurs created by John Hammonds genetics company InGen were destroyed. But when mysterious carcasses start showing up on the Costa Rican shore, a man named Richard Levine believes the story of InGen's experiments, which the original charachters deny. Levine and some other scientists attempt to find a supposed second island.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Death by Dino II : ( A waste of time)
Review: I generally enjoy Crichton's books. But Lost World is a loser. Jurassic Park was innovative and had enough of a detective story to make it a worth while read. However, Lost World is full of cliches and ridiculous character behavior. I threw the book away when I read the scene where the daughter sneaks on the truck.

I hope his next book is better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fascinating...a must read!
Review: Being one of the people who does things backwards, I tend to see a screen adaptation of a novel before actually reading the print. If I hadn't read previous Crichton novels before (Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, Sphere, and Congo), and I had to base the book solely on the movie, I would have been terribly disappointed. I found the movie so horrible that I walked out halfway through.

However, since I'd already read previous works by Crichton, I had to read the novel. Frankly, I was blown away. Not only does the author present his stories in a scientifically feasible manner, he does it with such energy and vitality, breathing real life into his characters, that I am completely engrossed in his stories. The Lost World has taken my childhood fascination with dinosaurs and blown it into gigantic proportions.

I highly recommend this book, as well as its predecessor, to anyone, whether they like dinosaurs or not. It's a tremendous sci-fi thriller that I think should be a classic.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Jurassic Park?
Review: I have heard many of you saying how the book is better than the movie. Wrong! At least the movie has more continuity with the prequel than the book does! Malcom DIED in the first book. He is some how alive in this one. It seemed Michael Crichton sold out on this one for those who had seen the first movie and not read the first book.
