"Something has survived"
1997 sequel to the original Jurassic Park, loosely based on a book that itself was written (again by Michael Crichton) after the first film, that moves the action from Isla Nublar to Isla Sorna, aka Site B, where it transpired the original dinosaurs were created before being shipped off tonthe park.

Said facilities shut down after the accident in the Park.

And is where Goldblum's returning Dr Ian Malcolm finds himself, on what he believes to be a rescue mission as his hastily-creared paleontologist girlfriend is already on said island.

While not as good as the original film, this is still enjoyable (and takes inspiration from both the second novel as well as from unused portions of the first novel).

A good read for young adults and "grown up" adults. Easy to follow, strong female character, magic and mayhem. Wonderful visuals painted with words. (0 more)
The climax of the story takes a while to get to. This story has a slow build up, with spats of action peppered throughout. It is important to be patient with this novel. (0 more)

Based on the Stephen King novel, The body, which is the backdrop to this great story. (2 more)
Outstanding acting from the then young cast.
Nostalgic story of friendship and the vulnerability of youth.
Coming of age movie, with the late River Phoenix. Stand by Me is a small, quiet film that walks tall and resonates long after.

To me the important thing in this novel is the character developement. While I didn't like Lada in the very beginning of the first book I really thing she underwent an immense character developement and really grew into hersef.
Critic- Kim
Original Score- 4 out of 5
