Critic reviews

"Scott Brick brings a chilling calm to the complex story with his deep, even tone and clear enunciation.... He does a particularly fine portrayal of John Hammond, the creator of the controversial park, giving the character a raspy edge that suits the dark agenda beneath his grandfatherly facade."

I read this after the new Jurassic world movie came out and after being encouraged by a friend. Honestly the first seventeen chapters bored me, it wasn't until then that we even get to the island. After that there was a lot of explanation, how the park works, how they engineered the dinosaurs, how nothing could go wrong. Eventually things get exciting and everything does go wrong. I don't think my issue was with the book, it's more with me having watched the movies, I was constantly anticipating what was coming next and I found myself getting impatient during boring chapters. My biggest issue was with Lex, I don't think she could have been more stupid and annoying, for example after just being nearly eaten by a T-Rex one of the first things she says is "I'm hungry", not to mention how she repeatedly drew attention by shouting at critically dangerous moments. My other issue and this actually caused me to fast forward parts was with Malcolm's constant lectures, my god your about to be eaten by a raptor and your lecturing us on the theory of life, I was actually relieved to hear that he was in a coma, anything for some peace and quiet. This all sounds negative but these minor issues shouldn't be enough to put you off and I intend to read the lost world. Overall it was far better than I expected and I thought the raptors were brilliant, you just might enjoy it more if you haven't watched the movie.

Much better than the movie!

Hopefully one day some Hollywood bit shoot will be able to turn this book into a movie picture show, after watching the new film the beast from 20,000 fathoms I think we can bring these mythical monsters to the big screen.

Might be good as a film
