“Human beings are so destructive, I sometimes think we’re a kind of plague, that will scrub the earth clean. We destroy things so well that I sometimes think, maybe that’s our function. Maybe every few eons, some animal comes along that kills off the rest of the world, clears the decks, and lets evolution proceed to its next phase.”
-Ian Malcolm

This is how a sequel should be done. The Lost World takes everything that worked in Jurassic Park and raises the stakes in all the right ways. I’m highly impressed. It was a thrill to see Ian Malcolm return!! He’s witty, skeptical, and once again totally in over his head. Plus, the addition of new characters added some fresh energy to the story that I really enjoyed. 

There’s even more dinosaur action this time around, too!! The tension is high, the science is super fascinating, and the sense of danger is constant. It’s faster, darker, and more intense. 

I’m honestly sad it’s over, but at least we still have the films to keep this Dino world world alive! Although, now I can confidently say that nothing beats the original source material. Everyone should read these books!!!

 These books are so good. NOTHING BEATS Jurassic Park, but the Lost World is a great second.
