#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Timeline, Sphere, and Congo comes the sequel to the smash-hit Jurassic Park, a thriller that’s been millions of years in the making.
“Fast and gripping.”—The Washington Post Book World
It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end—the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, and the island indefinitely closed to the public.
There are rumors that something has survived. . . .

Reviews
The Dinosaurs are coming
4By JCMHRN1985Very well written but just a little too much science and biology. Loved the characters.10/10
5By amritkaur19987So good, terrifying, and fun. I couldn’t stop reading.Awesome book
4By Kmorales27Fun read, i wish this series would of never ended.Why did Malcom go back smh
5By Ac96While I get why they probably didn’t adapt THIS version of the story for the movie , I was left wondering what this story would’ve been like on screen !! Starts off slower than the last book but you’ll be engrossed and blasting through those chapters once Dino’s are involved! Also you’d think Malcom had enough of chaotic Dino islands after the last book , but his monologues are always welcome.The book I’ve always wanted.
5By 13cpowellA perfect thriller, an easy read, a throw back to what filled my childhood full of awe and wonder.Amazing!!!
5By AitWreckaAmazing!!!!Good read
4By sockmonkey18Good read, but the behavior of the humans with dinosaurs was a little unbelievable.It was a great book
5By booksarecool1234I loved the first book but sequels usually aren’t as good as the original but this book proved that wrong this book was exiting like the first one (the movie for this book isn’t as good as the Jurassic park movie)I love Ian Malcom in the movie series
5By Duck lover 27He was the best characters “Life always finds a way”Not too bad
3By john wheelzLike most sequels this book isn’t as good as the first. My main problem was that a lot of the character actions, settings and expositions were confusing and hard to grasp. There were plenty of times I struggled to understand where one or more of the characters was located and what they were doing when the dinosaurs begun to attack. It’s not hard to follow though, you usually end up extrapolating the information as you continue to read. For me the best aspect of this book was that it gave Crichton a platform to wax intellectual about several different academic subjects through the dialogue. Things like chaos theory, animal behavior, evolution, genetics, etc. Ian Malcolm’s rants were some of my favorite passages.Phenomenal
5By Cole MagnusMichael Crichton’s genius is immortalized in this thrilling read.More better than the second movie.
5By gabe donovanMore dinosaurs and more characters. Lewis Dodgsona death in the rex nest was so scary and awesome. The disease that’s killing the dinosaurs is very exciting and very intense. But the books are my favorite books . Crichton will always be my idol .I’m a dinosaur lover and I’m 11
5By htgfrutfurtI sure you way better than the last one ☝️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Better Than #1
5By LaundryMatt77‘Jurassic Park’ was no doubt amazing, but ‘The Lost World’ steps up Crichton’s dinosaur world with more action, a darker tone, more of his idiosyncratically compelling characters, and an intriguing new story that forces the reader to want to find out what happens next and how the story resolves. I recommend it for anyone ( even those who don’t read much ) that love fascinating and exciting stories, and of course for anyone who loves Michael Crichton, or loved ‘Jurassic Park’. Way better than the movie.Great
5By Octo¢Better than the movie!!!Great!
5By Omgukille3kennyOne of my favorites!Great book !
5By chayburnJust as good as the first one.The lost world
5By Greatgus34The book is definitely better than the movieWay better than the movie
4By Will not disappointIf you just read Jurassic Park, you owe it to yourself to read The Lost World as well. It's an apt companion to its predecessor, and is head and shoulders above the movie version. The weakest part of the book is the incredibly incredible storyline. Crichton recycles some thematic elements almost like a crutch, I mean it's pretty noticeable. All that aside though, it's a good book. Definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm happy he wrote this sequel to JP and glad I decided to pick it up, even 20 years after its publishing. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
