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.
