Read Jurrasic Park for the first time. Loved the movie never thought to read the book. Finally did for what ever reason. And Loved it. Went straight to Lost World and took me forever to get into. But things pick up towards the end and it gets pretty gruesome. Which the last kill in the book was satisfying. Solid ending, but alittle to much of nothing going on the first half.
I do like this book. It is very scientific and if you are someone who is into dinosaurs or scientific documentary or documents, it would be very good for you to read this. If you are somebody who is more worried about the dinosaurs, killing people then actually the scientific part of Jurassic Park this book might be a little bit slow For you. Now the kills are very gory though and very detailed compared to in the movies. I will say I think I liked the first one better.
I enjoyed this book even though I am not a huge science fiction fan. The author is incredibly knowledgeable and a pro on all things dinosaur. It is faced paced and exciting! I would recommend it to anybody! It is a fun read even if you have already seen the movies!
If you loved the Jurassic Park films, The Lost World book takes it to a whole new level. The plot is richer, the characters more developed, and the suspense hits harder than anything in the movie adaptation. Michael Crichton’s writing brings the world of dinosaurs to life in a way that’s smart, intense, and absolutely unputdownable. Highly recommend if you enjoy science fiction with a brain and bite!
Went on an Andy Weir marathon and I wanted more. I read the Micheal Crichton was a similar style and I happened to have Jurassic Park lying around unread for years. I was blown away with how good it was and needed more. I bought this, chasing the dragon, with low expectations and was blown away again. The second movie was a flop in my opinion, but the book had whole lot more going on.I re-watched the first two movies after and it was fun seeing how they utilized this source material.
