My favorite book is The Lost World. I enjoyed it for several reasons. First, I found the technology very interesting. On every page there was something about genetics or computers. I really liked the dionsaurs and how the author told about how they were brought back from extinction.
Secondly, I loved the relenting chase scenes. The characters were always running away from dinosaurs or some other park disaster. In the chase scenes, the characters always either escaped by a hair or they were brutally mutilated trying.
Lastly, the story was fantastic. I liked the whole idea of the story: going on the island to find prof of the dinosaurs still existing, then getting chased around the island, and finally escaping with half of their original party. Without the great story, The Lost World would be a terribly boring read.
