Michael Crichtons The Lost World Essay -- Michael Crichton Lost World

Michael Crichtons The Lost WorldI read Michael Crichtons The Lost World. In the following paragraphs, I willnot only explain the news, provided also give my critique of it. I will also give aparagraph that was probably the best paragraph in the sacred scripture, in my opinion.The book starts out with Ian Malcolm, a mathematician who had already had anexperience with live dinosaurs a couple of years ago on another island. He haspretty much bar that experience from his mind. Anyway, it also talks abouta man named Doctor Levine. This man talks at a lecture that Malcolm is watchingabout the possible action of there being a lost world, an island, undiscovered, that hasextinct animals on it, particularly dinosaurs. Malcolm dismisses this ideasaying that is the dumbest thing he ever heard. After the lecture, Levine talksto Malcolm to dish him in finding this Lost World. Malcolm again dismisseshim. After a couple weeks of Levine nagging him, he sort of gets more into theidea, and start s to believe it. Levine Narrows it down to one island, IslaSorna, and just leaves without telling anyone.Two of Levines students, Kelly and Arby, get worried when he wasnt there toteach their class, because they were supposed to go on a field trip with himthat day. They go to a guy named Doctor Thorne, a guy that was makingspecialized equipment for their trip. He said that he didnt know what wasgoing on. They contact Malcolm and they go to Levines apartment. They go tohis ready reckoner room and see all this stuff on the wall about site B. They go ontothe computer and Arby gets all this stuff about site B on it. Malcolm thenfinds out that the island that Levine went to was Isla Sorna. They plan thiswhole trip to go there, just Malcolm, Thorne, and Thornes assistant, Eddie.They also call a woman named Sarah Harding, a scientist in Africa, to decrease withthem. She had to take a flight in a while, she was too far to just go with them.They told the kids that they couldnt go. They le ave for a helicopter with aspecialized explorer, and 2 trailers, with a lot of equipment. On the waythere, Thorne gets a call from Arby saying good luck. They get to the islandand search for Levine, with this device they have, the find him and go back tothe trailer. in front the go back, you find out that that Kelly and Arby hid in acompartment in the trailer. The... ...ey take the boat off the island, and go home.I think the only weakness of the book is that it is too much like the first book,Jurassic Park. The characters have similar strengths and weaknesses, two kids,etc.I also thing that there be many strengths to the book. It was verycompelling, and some nights Id be up until stupid hours in the morning readingit because I couldnt put it down. It was a thrilling book. It kept youwanting more.A particular passage which impressed me was PP 422 & 423, Chapter Exit, thewhole chapter. I particularly liked this chapter because it sort of turned thetable on humans. We always thi nk we are captain to every other animal in theworld, always taking them for granted, killing them and eating them. The T-Rexbrings Dodgson back to the nest for the babies to eat, sort of like when a birdbrings a worm home for its babies, only were the worms.In conclusion, I really liked this book, it is my favorite book now. I woulddefinitely recommend it to anyone. No matter what they are interested in. Ididnt read Jurassic Park, but I am definitely going to, and I cant wait tosee the Lost World on the big screen.
