MY FRIDAY 56
“Oh, he went on one of his field trips,” Thorne said. “Very excited about it, before he went. I outfitted him myself – loaned hi my latest field pack. Everything he could ever want in yst forty-seven pounds. He liked it. Left last Monday, four days ago.”
“For where?”
I think we all can figure out where he went! 🙂
(page 56 in hardcover)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
Introduction: The late twentieth century has witnessed a remarkable growth in scientific interest in the subject of extinction.
Are you concerned about cloning and the genetic research scientists are working on? Who knows what they do behind closed doors!
GOODREADS BLURB
The Lost World: Jurassic Park Junior Novelisation captures all the thrills and chills of The Lost World story – with heart-stopping suspense, hair-raising action, and illustrated with colour photographs from the film. Something has survived…In 1993, an ambitious entrepreneur named John Hammond spoke four words which ushered in a new era of motion picture excitement and set worldwide boxoffice records…”Welcome to Jurassic Park”. Now, a few years later, Hammond makes a startling confession to scientist Ian Malcolm: another island of dinosaurs exists…an island where dinosaurs have been living and breeding in the wild…the Lost World.

Friday Memes
I did read this one. Been so long I hardly remember it. Do love the movies!
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
As the others have mentioned, I’ve seen the movies, but not read the books. I may have to change that one day. I’d love for everyone to check out mine… http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsDE
My husband loves these books, but I’ve never actually read them myself. I did enjoy the movies though! Thanks for visiting my Friday BB & 56! Happy reading!
I’m probably the only person on the planet who hasn’t read the books or watched the movies. I’m feeling a little lame over here 😉
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Awesome!!!
Happy weekend!
I have to admit that I’ve never read the book or watched any of the movies…but I have read other Michael Crichton books and they are good so I hope you really enjoy this. Here’s my Friday meme
So this is a different book than Jurassic Park? Is it a continuation of the same story? I think I’d better look into this. I, too, like the simple covers on Crichton’s books.
I’d love to know how this one compares to the movie! Nice pick this week.
