  <default-description>A series of bizarre and brutal murders is taking place in the halls of the New York Museum of Natural History, only days before a massive exhibition is set to open.  Margo Green knows that the killer is something not human, something that's not even supposed to exist.  Where did it come from, how did it get into the museum, and how can it be stopped?  </default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A fun, quick read.  Irritating in it's portrayal of science and scientists.  The key points of the supposedly 'controversial' theory were taught in undergraduate courses in mainstream universities some seven years before the publication of the book.  The variations from <em>that</em> theory were apparently d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68319638">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good friend of mine has been urging me to read these agent Pendergast books for quite a while.  As it turns out, I have already read the third and fourth books in the series, so I finally decided to go back to the beginning.  <br/>The agent Pendergast character is the best part of this series for...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56834819">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is pure &quot;beach&quot; stuff. A crazy monster, shredded victims, dumb museum administrators, misguided scientists, typical power struggles between characters (pretty easy to guess who'll live and whose hubris will lead to a grisly demise). I see the books these two guys put out all the time....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68233078">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After reading some of the Pendergast series books out of order, I am finally starting from the first in the series, which this book is. Being the first in the series, it explained the background on the characters that I read in the other books. So now is makes better sense.

    <body><![CDATA[I'll start by saying I would have given this book three and a half stars, had that been an option.  I went lower instead of higher mostly because I had such a hard time getting into it.  The beginning wasn't exactly slow.. it just didn't grab me.  It didn't have the cinematic feel of the other book ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66380204">more...</a>]]></body>

What I loved about the book is that it took me to one of my favorite museums and gave me a richer understanding of what that building is like and how it's researchers may interact.<br/><br/>Preston and Child's skill at keeping ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40446763">more...</a>]]></body>
