I read this book a kerzillion times when I was 12, not only because a plot that involves dinosaurs coming to life is tewtally OFF DA CHAIN, but also because it excited me to read all the curse words.

Great book - it is what it is, a straight-up thriller, and it definitely delivers. Suspense, gore, mad science, and characters that are well-drawn enough to make you care whether or not they make it out alive.

Also, I think this is the first book I ever read in which people get all out DEVOURED. Like Scott Smith's "The Ruins," this book doesn't spare details on human suffering, which is excellent for the dark souls out there who smile at the thought of a T-Rex causing some major carnage during rush hour traffic.

Garrrrr! Rooooarrrr!!! I highly recommend this book to socially-awkward middle schoolers, and anyone out there looking for a quick, fun, and blood-soaked read.
