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.

But there are rumors that something has survived.

Very well done book and anybody who appreciated the first should like this. Would have been a great movie if they stuck with the story already written by Crichton. The movie is just plain abysmal and I recommend avoiding it at all costs. Unless you read the book first then make fun of how bad the movie was.

Thank goodness it is nothing like the movie!

Of course I've read the novel a few times myself, but nothing (that I've personally found) feels as good and relaxing as having someone read your favorite story to you. Scott Brick really breathes life into the characters and gives them the voice and personality that does justice to what Michael Crichton portrayed in his novel. I simply love it and I highly recommend the prequel to this novel, Jurassic Park.

A true classic, read by a phenomenal storyteller.

Great book on audio. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good story. This book has a good mix between proscience and antiscience.

Great book

But not as good as big brother Jurassic Park. Stronger female characters in this sequel.

Pretty good

It's not quite as good as Jurassic Park. The plot isn't as engaging as the first one. But there's more debate amongst the characters about the science and ethics behind the dinosaurs and extinction in general. Those passages of debate are The Lost World's strongest moments. And, as usual, Scott Brick is fantastic.

Worthy sequel

I’m not sure why Hollywood wrote the atrocity that was part 2 of the movie. They should have wrote a screenplay based on this book. It was fun to listen to, made much more sense and loved the characterization. The movie was horrible, the book was A+. Narration was amazing!!

Incredible book!!!!

I have always loved the stories of the Jurassic Park and Lost World told from the movies. But the books present a whole new world! This audio version was great and the reader performed very well. The Lost World was a great add on to Jurassic Park. Although there is a heavy amount of detail and context at the first 1/3rd of the book, it quickly begins to build speed until your ansiety begins to build with each new thing thrown at you! Just great!

Slow starter into snowball effect of excitement!

SO much better than the movie! I very much enjoyed this story. It has so many more different layers than the movie had. The actor was awesome! I love those who can act out the characters instead of just reading the book. Brilliant!
