The Lost World

De: Michael Crichton

Narrado por: Scott Brick

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.

"Harrowing thrills...fast-paced and engaging." ( People)
"Action-packed." ( New York Daily News)
"Fast and gripping" ( The Washington Post Book World)

Thank goodness it is nothing like the movie!

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.

A true classic, read by a phenomenal storyteller.

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.

Great book

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

Pretty good

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

Worthy sequel

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.

Incredible book!!!!

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!!

Slow starter into snowball effect of excitement!

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!

Great book and sequel

Loved this. So much better than the movie. If you have not read this then you must .

Book vs Movie

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!

Fun

Its a fun and simple story, easy to follow but also it has some thrilling in it. Way better than the movie.
