One whole book of Sarah Harding girlbossing through life fr. The philosophy talk could be a little much at times but this definitely had interesting elements that made me enjoy it nonetheless.

The Lost World is a really enjoyable follow-up to Jurassic Park. Great characters, scary dinosaurs, life and death scenarios, and lots of science.

I wish this was as good as the first book, I really, really, do. I tried to love it I really did. But i kept getting lost (no pun intended unfortunately) and having to re-read over and over. I do see what Crichton was trying to achieve, but with the success of the first book and movie, this feels like a rushed attempt from Crichton to pop out a sequel.
It’s messy, there’s too much going on, I get the idea. Second Island and all. But it could’ve been written way better, it just made me confused and gave me a headache trying to piece everything together. I almost didn’t finish it, but I did. Like i mentioned earlier, it feels really rushed compared to Jurassic Park; I doubt I’ll ever pick it up again.

It was a little harder to get into the second book compared to the first one. The storylines felt a little disconnected. The tension arc was not as excellently crafted than Crichton's other books. The strory is fast paced and the short chapters underline that.
I enjoyed the information about dinosaurs and raising animals.

“All your life people will tell you things. And most of the time, probably ninety-five percent of the time, what they'll tell you will be wrong.”
Sur ce, je termine ma première lecture de l'univers Jurassic Park avec ce deuxième tome, qui s'est avéré très différent de son adaptation en film. Comme ça, je ne saurais dire quelle interprétation de l'histoire j'ai préféré (quand bien même le film aura toujours une place particulière dans mon cœur).
Dans ce deuxième tome, on retrouve le fameux Ian Malcolm, encore traumatisé de son bref séjour à Jurassic Park, qui embarque pour le Site B à la recherche d'un paléontologue disparu. L'histoire met du temps à se mettre en place, avec une exposition assez longue, si bien que je me demandais aux alentours des 30% quand on rencontrerait les premiers dinosaures.
Je me suis finalement laissée prendre à l'intrigue et, comme pour le premier tome, ai dévoré les 450 pages avec plaisir. Le gros point fort de cette duologie est sa narration dynamique, ses scènes d'action, et les révélations disséminées à travers ces dernières.
En toute honnêteté, j'aurais adoré que ce roman fasse 100 ou 200 pages de plus et que l'auteur aille vraiment dans le détail des expériences ratées de InGen. Mais je comprends que ce pan de l'univers n'était pas le point principal de l'intrigue de ce tome, et j'ai fait ma paix avec l'idée que cet univers se clôture ainsi.
Et vive Sarah Harding, la seule personne compétente de ce groupe.
