Following the success of Jurassic Park's film adaptation in 1993, Michael Crichton was pressured by fans to write a sequel. He was hesitant to do so, this the first sequel he was to write, and noted that the sequel presented "a very difficult structural problem because it has to be the same but different; if it's really the same, then it's the same—and if it's really different, then it's not a sequel. So it's in some funny intermediate territory." Upon publication, The Lost World spent eight weeks as number one on the New York Times Best Seller List and was soon adapted into the 1997 film of the same name directed by Spielberg which broke many box-office records.
