Lost World

Summary: Dan R MUST READ!
Review: Six years afterward, Ian Malcolm still has nightmares about his skin-of-the-teeth escape from Jurassic Park. Like everyone else connected with that debacle - an eccentric millionaire's attempt to establish the world's most spectacular amusement park by recreating long extinct dinosaurs - Malcolm denies knowing anything about such matters. But a man named Lewis Dodgson, who once paid computer programmer Dennis Nedry to steal dinosaur embryos, knows what happened. Dodgson also knows that there's another island off Costa Rica where the "factory" supplying Jurassic Park once operated. Dodgson remains determined to find that abandoned facility, for his own ruthless reasons. Meanwhile, scientist Richard Levine also wants to find that island - and Ian Malcolm finds himself drawn back into a nightmare he barely survived before.

This book is at least as good a read as Jurassic Park, and in one way I found it better. I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Harding. Author Crichton's women usually lack credibility with me, but in this one - a wildlife biologist who even in the midst of life-threatening chaos takes time to mentor a talented young girl, and who never, ever gives up! - he's created a character who lives and breathes.

Summary: Yeah
Review: I purchased this book from Amazon and love it. The story is gripping and compelling. Its one of those books you just can't stop reading no matter how late it is or how bad you have to pee. And if you are a student who wishes to be a paleontologist or just think paleontology is neat then you will enjoy this book even more.
