Something has survived...

It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.

There are rumours that something has survived... --back cover

reviewed The Lost World by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, #2)

Just didn't do it for me.

2 stars

I loved Jurassic Park when I read it last year and wanted to finish out the duology. This was a rough one to get through.

It was leaps and bounds above the movie still, but after having read the first book and enjoying the crap out of it, this one just flopped. As a stand alone it likely would have been fine.

I almost didn't finish it. You could feel that Crichton did not want to write it, which he did not so it makes sense. I know lots of people still found it a great read so I wouldn't suggest to take my rating to heart. For me it just really fell flat.
