The lost world
This is the continuation of Jurassic Park. I liked JP, so I was anxious to read the sequel
Ok, there's an island off the coast of Costa Rica, called Isla Sorna. There's a scientist called Levine who suspects that something strange is faring in the isle, and he decides to explore the island with the company of a guide. Unfortunately the guide is devoured by a dino, and Levine is caught stranded in Isla Sorna
Then we learn of the life of various other personages: Doc Thorne, a sturdy engineer; Sarah Harding, a biologist; Ian Malcolm, a mathematician; Eddie Carr, a mechanic; and also a boy and girl. All these persons go to the island to rescue Levine. They find him, and also discover that the island is teeming with dangerous giant lizards. So they establish their base at the center of the island, near an abandoned factory, which in the past had serve the purpose of genetically engineering the primitive fauna now occupying the isle
So they spend part of the day investigating the life of the dinos, but these are very peevish and decide to attack the humans. One of the best parts is when a sore pair of tyrannosaurs try to kick the trailer where Sarah and Malcolm stay off a cliff. Eddie Carr is dispatched by a pack of velocirraptors. The remaining persons hole up in a building, but the raptors menace to bring the door down. At the end, all of them escape thru a tunnel, and take a car to the boat deck, where they ride a boat into safety
This novel is very athmospheric, and not reccomendable for unplucky persons

I read The Lost World some years ago before the movie came out. I enjoyed it enough, but not nearly as much as the original novel. Still, I felt that the film version could have been much better had it stayed closer to the plot of the book.

- Apart from a few of the same characters, the scene with the trailers hanging over the cliff, and the fact that there are two Tyrannosaurs, the two versions are almost completely different.
- I really wish the film had incorporated those dinosaurs (I forget their name) which hunted at night and had a chameleon-like ability to change their skin color, making them almost impossible to see.
