THE LOST WORLD (Michael Chrichton)


THE LOST WORLD (Michael Chrichton)
30-12-2007

An "average" book and an "excellent" sci-fi.

The second part of Jurassic Park, but lacks many features which made the first one a master-piece. This story mainly lacks axcitement which was plenty in the former.

The story is of a group of people who searches for the Lost World, and the dangers they face when they finally reach there. Lost World mean an area which still hasn't been discovered by humans, where fauna and flora must be living untouched by humans. So there is a chance to find extinct animals there. But when they reach there, they actually find dinosaurs. The scientist in the group, Robert Levine, is happy seeing the dinosaurs because this is going to help the scientific community beyond explanation. But to their surprise they see lots of building with modern facilities which looks as if it had been uninhabited for many years. Ian Malcolm, the mathematician who was a part of Jurassic park too, suddenly realizes that this island is a backstage for the original Jurassic Park. This is actually were breeding, growing, etc. took place.

They are attacked by there vicious creatures. All they want now is to escape from this dangerous "LOST WORLD".
