"What a fantastic book! As much as I loved Jurassic Park, I found this one to be even better. It took a little longer to set up than the first book did, but after that, it was a non-stop, run-for-your-life page-turner! Ian, who we thought was dead after the first book, miraculously survived and heads for Site B on Isla Sorna. A colleague is thought to be in danger and Ian, along with a couple colleagues, a couple stowaways, and a few intruders, head out to try to save him. This was so far from the movie adaptation, much better in my opinion. There's a very small cast of characters which is what I prefer. I never understand how the movie can be so far from what the book was and that's why I always like to read the book afterward. I know I'll be rewarded that way. If you like a scary adventure, you certainly want to read this one..." [a private review]
