The Lost World
by Michael Crichton
Synopsis:
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. . . .

My Thoughts:
I personally loved this book! If you loved "jurassic park" , "The Lost World" is for you! The book is equally thrilling and just as sci fi spectacular as Jurassic park and fits perfectly as the next book in the series. If you haven't read Jurassic park you are missing out! like any good book it is a heck of a lot better than the movie and is a perfect sci fiction/thriller!
"The Lost World" is a perfect speed, but first it provides you with some crazy science info so you can understand what the nerds in this book are talking about. Then it cuts to the chase. I can honestly say i read this book in 7 sittings. Full of suspense, wonder (a few casualties along the way) and evil this book WILL keep you reading! I have never been so terrified of a book before! I know it sounds far fetched and cheesy, but these dinosaurs are scary! The raptors (the most common terror) will haunt you to the end of the book, the mere mention of them makes you cringe . "They were all snareling and licking the blood off their snouts, wipingtheir faces with their clawed forearms, an intellegent gesture almost human" (Chrichton 335), does that not send a disturbing mental inage to your brain? Michael Crichton doesn't hold anything back! you have peoples faces being eaten, stand-offs with chameleon-dinos and chicken like scavengers dinos munching on partially alive humans! Most of all this book is crammed with suspenseful situations where you find yourself holding your breath. A truly well written book and a must read for anyone who wants a scary read!
