... I had watched the film adaptation before reading the novel. I loved the film especially with the Big Rex attacking my hometown. (Sadly the news never reported it). Now I had begun reading it kind of late...

Now when I did read the novel I tried to clear my mind and not try to expect alot from it. However when I actually did get to reading the Lost World I was slightly dissapointed. To be frank I think I was expecting a lot of the awe dropping and suspensful moments of the film, which wern't as good. A large portion of the book was conversation theories between the intellectual cast which I undestand but felt it dragged on to long. However the ideas were very impressive and got me to question what I know on past species of extinct animals. After all no one around today was there when Baryonyx was in our back yards.

Something I did like though was how Ian Malcom was the central protagonist this time around. It was kind of funny since in the first novel he was basically this "Chaotician" who joined along for the ride at the park with all these dino experts who critisized everything (What made me laugh was that he was right) and now we see him kind of leading things and having his own ideas on the dinosaurs which almost makes him look like a different character. he did definately differ from his film counterpart but I think he was a better character in the novel version.

This like Jurassic Park was a long buddy of mine since I couldn't put the book down. The Lost World just got me interested despite certain parts. However the book had overall made me interested and think about certain ideas overlooked. Personally I would recommend it, but then have whoever reads it watch the film adaptation if they had some issues.]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2026 17:49:52 +0000 es Copyright 202 6BiblioEteca Technologies SL
