		Crichton's The Lost World was largely forgotten after the release of the movie.

		Crichton uses his fiction to address some very real concerns of his, citing actual scientific research to contend that global warming is probably a nonexistent threat, and that no one is doing anything effective to determine and solve genuine environmental problems.

		Works by Michael Crichton tend to take on such lives of their own, and vary so widely in subject matter that it's often easy to forget that they sprang from the mind of the same writer.
		Michael Crichton has made a living writing these suspensful and exciting novels that talk about science and the dangers involved with it.

		Instead of bringing his dinos to a city, for instance, Crichton keeps them in the Costa Rican jungle, on an offshore island that was the secret breeding ground for the beasts.
		In such a world, nothing is going to survive very long; once they've eaten all their prey, they'll turn around and eat each other.
		Crichton is able to put you on the island and make you feel like you are there observing the dinosaurs.

	The Lost World - Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition) Review - Dhoogle
		The biggest problem for The Lost World is that it is impossible to recreate the sense of awe and wonder that was inspired by Jurassic Park's groundbreaking effects work.
		In The Lost World, the deaths are treated as eye candy, at which the viewers are meant to be in awe of.
		The result is a hodge podge of some of the cooler elements of both novels by Michael Crichton as well as some decent acknowledgement to the original source material as provided by Sir Doyle.

	The Lost World by Michael Crichton - SciFiHorrorBooks.com
		It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end--the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.
		Crichton falls into a groove writing about these long extinct animals and knows how to use every one of them now.
		All in all The Lost World is not as good of a book as Jurassic Park, but it attempts to use the same basic formula and comes up with a fairly fun read.

		Crichton was ingenious while writing it, although I have head that he very much hated it himself, when writing it, until he read it once again.
		Anyway, "Lost World" is a magnificent book, and I would advise others to read it.
		The Lost World starts off too slow, but when the action hits...BAM!!!!!, you are on a roller coaster ride.

		Crichton has also managed to recapture the sense of wonder so important in the first book.
		The Lost World follows on, in some form, after the events that occured in the book Jurassic Park.
		The Lost World is, in my opinion, a much more enjoyable read than it's predecessor, mainly because of the detail & research that has gone into the book.

		Crichton has this habit of moralising about science and making his characters deliberately stupid.
		Crichton's speculations on things such as evolution and prions are much more interesting than some of his other works.
		On the other hand, Crichton does tackle a few problems that were left over from the last novel.
