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.

I just reread this and while I still enjoyed it, I think I liked it more when I was a kid. Sarah, Kelly, and Arby stand out so much in my memory as being THE BEST from when I read this at, like, 14 years old. This reread I found it a bit slower, and my memories of the dinosaur bits were a much bigger part of the book than they actually take up. Still, I really like the dinosaurs and the disasters, and Dodgson's arc had such a satisfying ending. Will continue to read every few years, probably.
