The Lost World is a 1995 techno-thriller novel written by Michael Crichton, and the sequel to his 1990 novel Jurassic Park. It is his tenth novel under his own name and his twentieth overall, and it was published by Knopf. A paperback edition (ISBN 0-345-40288-X) followed in 1996. In 1997, both novels were re-published as a single book titled Michael Crichton's Jurassic World, which is unrelated to the 2015 film of the same name.

Just didn't do it for me.

I loved Jurassic Park when I read it last year and wanted to finish out the duology. This was a rough one to get through.

It was leaps and bounds above the movie still, but after having read the first book and enjoying the crap out of it, this one just flopped. As a stand alone it likely would have been fine.

I almost didn't finish it. You could feel that Crichton did not want to write it, which he did not so it makes sense. I know lots of people still found it a great read so I wouldn't suggest to take my rating to heart. For me it just really fell flat.
