The Lost World: The Junior Novelization by Gail Herman

3.0

Very similar to Jurassic Park -- two children randomly on the adventure, Ian Malcolm is back in action, dinosaurs, Costa Rica, "kill the spare"-style treatment for any non-major character, etc. I don't remember the movie enough to know how closely it adheres to this plot, and I have to say, for a sequel, I think Crichton stuck maybe too close to his original (maybe why this is the only sequel he every wrote?).
