Same flaws as the first book, but same draw too. Overall I enjoyed it, even more than the first I think.

Last time I was sick, I read The DaVinci Code. This time, I wanted an equally “smarty pants uses smarts to outsmart everything” adventure, and this scratched that itch. I have only vague memories of the movie but could still tell there were massive deviations from the book. Very enjoyable.

Not as good as the first book, The Lost World follows Ian Malcom going to another dinosaur island. It’s not as interesting, but still a good thrillers that keeps the reader on the edge of his or her seat. I liked the child characters and felt their ages were better suited than Lex’s. However, the fact that only three BioSyn guys show up…I think the movie made the right choice in having it be this entire team that does meet and conflict with Malcolm’s. It adds man vs man in with this man vs nature thriller. Plus, the raptor field scene is way better in the movie than just one guy running for a tree.

The child character Kelly does not want to stay home with her mother’s boyfriend without the presence or her older sister. The implication could be that he might abuse her in some way.

Levine was annoying, but I LOVED Sarah Harding. What an inspirational girl boss. 

There were a few inconsistencies from the first book, but overall it was good.
