Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Timeline, Sphere, and Congo comes the sequel to the smash-hit Jurassic Park, a thriller that’s been millions of years in the making.

“Fast and gripping.”—The Washington Post Book World

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, and the island indefinitely closed to the public.

There are rumors that something has survived. . . .

Praise for The Lost World

“Harrowing thrills . . . fast-paced and engaging.”—People

“A very scary read.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Action-packed.”—New York Daily News

“An edge-of-the-seat tale.”—St. Petersburg Times

Reviews

  • Jurassic Park wasn’t this different

    From the movie, I mean. And that made this seem special to me. The origins of many concepts and quotes almost make the movie’s versions seem like cameos. There’s often times you read onto a line and realize you’re being made aware of something that has been happening, and it’s spooky or surprising. You’re caught in the chaos a bit, and it sometimes transitions like a movie in that regard. Riddled with short chapters so it’s incredibly easy to read one more after one more. It’s just fun.

  • The Dinosaurs are coming

    Very well written but just a little too much science and biology. Loved the characters.

    While I get why they probably didn’t adapt THIS version of the story for the movie , I was left wondering what this story would’ve been like on screen !! Starts off slower than the last book but you’ll be engrossed and blasting through those chapters once Dino’s are involved! Also you’d think Malcom had enough of chaotic Dino islands after the last book , but his monologues are always welcome.

  • The book I’ve always wanted.

    I loved the first book but sequels usually aren’t as good as the original but this book proved that wrong this book was exiting like the first one (the movie for this book isn’t as good as the Jurassic park movie)

  • I love Ian Malcom in the movie series
