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. . . .

    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

    Like most sequels this book isn’t as good as the first. My main problem was that a lot of the character actions, settings and expositions were confusing and hard to grasp. There were plenty of times I struggled to understand where one or more of the characters was located and what they were doing when the dinosaurs begun to attack. It’s not hard to follow though, you usually end up extrapolating the information as you continue to read. For me the best aspect of this book was that it gave Crichton a platform to wax intellectual about several different academic subjects through the dialogue. Things like chaos theory, animal behavior, evolution, genetics, etc. Ian Malcolm’s rants were some of my favorite passages.

  • Phenomenal

    Michael Crichton’s genius is immortalized in this thrilling read.

  • More better than the second movie.

    More dinosaurs and more characters. Lewis Dodgsona death in the rex nest was so scary and awesome. The disease that’s killing the dinosaurs is very exciting and very intense. But the books are my favorite books . Crichton will always be my idol .
