Yeah, I hadn't read the book when the movie came out, and besides, it gave me more dinosaurs, but I didn't mind much.
I didn't really like the second book. Some of it was kinda stupid. Like the whole villain plot to TAKE THREE GUYS, WALK AROUND THE ISLAND WITH NO EQUIPMENT AND STEAL EGGS.
I mean, maaaaan...
The major problem with The Lost World was the King Kong sequence.
