Saltzman's Lost World is an excellent re-telling. It loosely follows the 3 Jurassic Park films (geographically), but it is definitely not a children's version! There's lots of violence and gore, but excellent characters as well. The novel is set in a lost depression deep in the Congo. Evolution and Creationism are discussed in some detail and the author isn't dogmatic. Concepts like Elvis taxa are explained and I found these ideas very interesting.There were some typos, the most annoying was the consistent misuse of 'divulged' instead of 'diverged'. Some missing words yielded a bit of confusion when 'him uneasy' should have been 'made him uneasy'. But the novel went quickly and was very hard to put down, except when it became so intense one had to stop for a bit. Highly recommended!
