The sequel to Jurassic Park. This story is well-written, entertaining and VERY easy-to-read.

The book that the movie, Jurassic Park was based upon. Only the book was much, much better. Read it and see.

Love, love, love this book! The only reason I am posted it for trade is that I ended up with two copies!! Perfect reading for people who like science, adventure, dinosaurs, and intelligently written prose. Infinitely better than the movie!

A little too wordy in a few spots, but an excellent story with good character development and several cliff-hanging moments.

A page turner, just as much kinetic fun as Jurassic Park.

This is Jurassic Park II and contains many more details and intrigue than the movie.

Great sequel! If you've seen the movie and not read the book, then read the book! The movie is a poor and warped translation of the movie. Ian Malcolm returns (from the dead)to the island where his misadventures started. Hot on the trail are a rival company's cronies to steal the dino DNA technology. New twists to dinosaur behavior add to the story started in Jurassic Park.

I know everyone knows the story... Right? Wrong. The books are so much better and scarier than the movies even hinted at. Crichton at his best, struck terror into my heart and brain. Good luck putting it down.

iT IS SIX YEARS NOW SINCE THE SECRET DISASTER AT Jurassic Park, six year since it all came to a crushing end. There are rumors that something has survived.

This is another one of those that has a different cover than pictured. The cover I have is red with white letters spelling the author's name and a hologram type deal for the title of the book. This was a wonderful book sure to ensnare you and take you into a world full of dinosaurs and fear and adventure. Very quick read.
