[Jake · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'd rate it 3.5 stars, very good plot, it reminded me alot of the Alex Rider book series.

----------------------------------SPOILER ALERT--------------------------

Very great way the Mansfield includes Bently into the book, I'm a fan of dogs so it was a great addition to the book, very sad ending when he loses his parents but it kinds of shows there is a follow up. Mansfield introduces technology and space-time theory i.e going back in time which was led quite accurate e.g like not leaving details out and not altering the path of the future. A good bit of the book is Johnny tries to save the dinosaurs species from extinction but then they were meant to extinct.

Great book don't read the spoiler if your going to read the book.
