Publisher's Summary

It is now six years since the secret disaster at Jurassic Park, six years since the extraordinary dream of science and imagination came to a crashing end - the dinosaurs destroyed, the park dismantled, the island indefinitely closed to the public.

But there are rumors that something has survived.

©1996 Michael Crichton (P)2006 Books on Tape

Great Story!

A great action packed sequel to Jurassic Park. Scott Brick's narration is as good as ever, and really brings the story to life.

Jurassic Fun

March 2022 | 4/5
Dinosaur party!! I think I enjoyed the sequel even more so than Jurassic Park - more dinos and action with all the same corporate espionage you'd expect.

The characters make much better choices this time around and still find themselves in constant peril. The science is a touch cleaner, and we get to fill in plot holes from the first book.

Super fun read and so much better than the movies.

Struggled to finish

Great book, terrible narration. The performance was so bland it was difficult to follow which character was which. Very disappointing for such an incredible story.

another great performance

Man these are way better than the movies. They read like a suspense horror instead of an action comedy.

Gripping

Amazing fictional story with a generous amount of scientific theory and fact.
will never look at chameleons or birds the same way.
Great liste.

Not as good as the first, but still fun.

This story is good, but the excessive rambling of some of the characters make it less so. Malcolm is as annoying as ever and some of the ideas of the first book come into conflict here.

OK But Original WAY Better

it was ok, but I feel it was a bit of a let down. Ian Malcolm was less negative on the concept then he was in the 1st novel; considering Dinos are running lose from the start it was disappointing.
