Critic reviews
"Scott Brick brings a chilling calm to the complex story with his deep, even tone and clear enunciation.... He does a particularly fine portrayal of John Hammond, the creator of the controversial park, giving the character a raspy edge that suits the dark agenda beneath his grandfatherly facade." (AudioFile)

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favourite?
Hammond as he is very different in this to how he was portrayed in the film.

Great book if you can handle the annoying Lex
This would be a perfect book if it wasn't for Lex. I think her character is perhaps the most annoying I have ever encountered. I often struggled to finish chapters that she was in.

Much better than the film!
Rarely do I think that films live up to the books when I have read them first. In this instance, having seen the film many years ago and many times since, I can say for sure that the book wins. Very well narrated and an excellent and somewhat different story from the film. I have already recommended it to people and will continue to do so!

Simply Brilliant !
The beginning was a little hard to comprehend. With a flurry or characters and small pockets of experiences happening in different locations, I found it hard to remember all of the characters and which ones were worth memorizing. After a short while, when the characters reach the park it becomes very clear. The story was really quite scary at moments and the author wrote the tension well. The book was firmly sci fi, and full of in depth explanations. Although I knew the story I felt very keen to find out all about the dinosaurs and how they came to be and the research and developments going on. The film adaptation, from what I can remember of the film, seemed quite accurate.
Narration was good and engaging, although I did speed up the narration a little.

Still a classic
One of my all time favourite books. And wonderfully read/acted by Scott Brick even if some accents are questionable, I'm looking at you Muldoon. Would highly recommend to anyone. Just give me The Lost World as well please Audible!

I preferred this to the film
This book was fantastic, I loved the film, but I felt this was a much more realistic and suspenseful story. The film is a family friendly version of this limb ripping masterpiece.
