The Lost World by Michael Crichton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I just had to do a re-read. Why? Because of peer pressure.
But is that bad? No! Not at all! Indeed, for a wonderful exposition of science stuff, almost Heinlein-esque adventure mixed with monster-flix ethos, it's just about perfect.
Booooom. Boooom.
Honestly tho, Malcolm is the linchpin of this novel. Without him, I probably wouldn't have cared that much. Everyone else is just overflowing with hubris.
Still a classic. It may not be as good as the first book, but the science was great and so was the action, so I don't really care.
