“This island presents a unique opportunity to study the greatest mystery in the history of our planet: extinction”.

I find it interesting that Lost World turns its focus to the idea of “extinction” where Jurassic Park focused on more of the creation aspect of the dinosaurs.

I was worried the suspense of the beginning of the book would be gone since we already know it’s dinosaurs and where they came from but the book is so far wonderfully paced. Something I enjoy about the Jurassic Park books is that it takes them a while to figure out its dinosaurs. I love seeing the process of them coming to that conclusion.
