gheneks 's review for:

The Lost World by Michael Crichton
4.0

I love the Jurassic Park books. I love dinosaurs. There, I said it. Dinos are cool. There's still so much we don't know, so many species we haven't discovered, so many cool things they could do that we will never get to witness with our eyeballs. I just find them endlessly fascinating. My toxic trait is that I'd probably go to Jurassic Park if it existed even though I know how that story ends. Just to see the damn dinos.

This sequel is action-packed. I was hooked from page one. Are the characters developed and interesting? Not really. Do I care? No. Did we get to see some dinosaurs pretty quickly? Hell yes. Did my favorites make an appearance (Raptors)? Of course! And they were every bit as maniacal as they were in the first book. Just bonkers. If psychopaths were dinos, they'd be raptors. But the kind you love. Like Dexter. Because, as we all know, the real villain in these stories is always humanity. Humanity is the fucking worst.

Anyway, read this if you want some fun dinosaur shit.
