Pros
- Jurassic Park and The Lost World hold up incredibly well, and I even find the Ian Malcolm lectures pretty interesting and entertaining.
- I know sequels usually suck, but I thought the lost world was even better!
- Have you read Jurassic Park and The Lost World yet? Considering your interests I think it might be right up your alley. It’s a generally easy read and even the parts that explain the sciency parts don’t pull you out of the story at all.
- The Lost World if you haven’t yet, a great sequel!
- The Lost World is the most underrated sequel of all time and I'll die on that hill.
Cons

- I've just finished reading "The Lost World" and almost had to DNF because >!Kelly, a literal preteen, twists Arby's arm and has them both stowaway in a trailer bound for an island full of carnivorous dinosaurs. This decision, of course,...
- Lost World, on the other hand, is WAY different book to film.
