The Lost World: The Junior Novelization by Gail Herman
3.0
Jurassic Park was phenomenal. This felt like a weaker rehash of the same story.
We have a set of characters that mirrors those in the first book. Ian Malcolm is fantastic as usual. He is joined by sociopathic Levine, conveniently thrown in children who talk and act like adults, and Sarah Harding (who was great, but overall I think I liked Ellie more).
The plot was fast-paced but not much action happens in the first half of the book. Don't worry, after that, it's all action.
The philisophical/ scientific discussions were interesting but did not pack the same punch. Book 1 was all about ethics and the responsibility of scientists. Book 2 was more vaguely about evolution and untestable theories.
What kept me puzzled the whole time was - why did Ian agree to go back?????
