Il mondo perduto

I find a lot of people discuss the "resurrection" of Ian Malcolm in their reviews, and I'd like to throw in my two cents. It's true, Malcolm is mentioned as dead at the end of Jurassic Park. To be exact, Muldoon is telling Grant what's happened to everyone else as they're flying away in the helicopt Leggi tutto

I was surprised as to how different this was from the movie. I mean like an entirely different story. While I did enjoy film, I think that the book is far superior. There less characters and the story was a little more streamlined than that of the original novel. But I'm saying that in a good way, a Leggi tutto

The story goes that Steven Spielberg flush with the success of the first Jurassic Park movie, itself an adaptation of a Michael Chrichton novel, decided to try and repeat his success by commissioning the author to write a sequel to his original novel (which the first movie was based on) which they c Leggi tutto

WOW, this was disappointing. I remembered going into this book that I had enjoyed the film version of the original Jurrasic Park far more than the book -- a rather unusual situation for me. I had a slight feeling of apprehension, but I ignored it. Even if I hadn't, though, it wouldn't have prepared m Leggi tutto

Years ago I visited a museum. There were endless glass displays, some of which held guns used in war; others held swords that at one time were raised in combat against empires that have long since fallen. But I wasn't there for them. I was there for a dinosaur. At one point I came to a long hallway

The Lost World is not a very good book. The story is a slog to start and the characters are very weak. So weak that if any of them had actually been eaten by the constantly hungry dinosaurs I would've been like: shrug. As the story progressed and I waited impatiently to find out: would they actually Leggi tutto

4.5 I read Jurassic Park in July of 2017 and really enjoyed it, so I have no idea why it took me close to 2 years to get to The Lost World (which I buddy read with my friend Rian!) but I finally got to it, and I loved it even more than the first book! I never watched the movies growing up, so I watc Leggi tutto

This might turn out to be one of my favorite books of all time. I feel like there was so much to love. I don’t care if he was just cashing in on the success of the Jurassic Park movie. I’m not even mad that Malcolm’s death was retconned. What I’m mad about, is that Hollywood took a beautiful book an Leggi tutto

Trigger warnings: violence, blood, death, gore, near drowning, gore, animal death, seriously you guys there's so much gore. 5/11/2020 An oddly comforting read in 2020 because at least I'm not trapped on an island with raptors and T. rexes. And I'm bumping it up to 5 stars as a result, even though the Leggi tutto

I will start my review by saying that I did not enjoy this novel nearly as much as the first book, Jurassic Park. While this was an incredibly easy and fast read, I would have preferred if Crichton had cut roughly a hundred pages of additional information that, in my opinion, did not add to the stor Leggi tutto
