A review by kristallmarie
The Lost World by Michael Crichton

1.0

I read the first Jurassic Park book not long ago, and it was amazing! And I had lots of people on Twitter telling me I should read the second one, and I listened because if the first book was great, it stands to reason that the second one would be, too, right? Wrong. Hoo, boy, wrong! This book was as big a disappointment as I've ever read. The characters (Including the resurrected Ian Malcolm, who I loved in the first book) are obnoxious, especially the kids, there's far less action, and any time a meaningful conversation is being had, it gets cut off for "Oh, look, a dinosaur!" Snoozefest seems an apt descriptor for this book. Such a shame, too, when there was so much potential!
