It was a cheap novelization of the first 2 episodes. It was like BBC gave the writer the scripts for the episodes and filled them in with creative details to hidden a hacked-up piece trash 3 rate rip-off.

My ten year old found this series on streaming recently and loves it (he's a serious dinosaur nerd). He wanted the books to read when he doesn't have screentime. Easily a five star read for him. And he can't wait to read the others.

シーズン1の2話目までのノベライズです。
ノベルの利点でカッターの感情がほんの少しですがテレビよりも詳しくわかります。
と、いっても1話目のラスト、恐竜が死んじゃって哀しかった…とか、2話目のラスト、裂け目と向かいあっていたカッターはこのまま裂け目をくぐってしまいたいという思いがちらりと頭をよぎっていたという程度ですが、なかなか興味深いです。

Just like the series

This book is great the story is just like the tv series I saw this again just recently still good and this book reminds me of this great read

Almost word for word the first two episodes jigsawed together, but just bare bones. I'm a sucker for novelizations, so I will probably read the rest.

A novelization of several episodes of the BBC TV series where rips in time, the Anomalies, allow dinosaurs to invade modern England. The team of Professor Nick Cutter, Stephen Hart, Claudia Brown, Connor Temple, and Abby Maitland first come together and begin to deal with these creatures.

The prose flows nicely here and made for a very quick read.

[Virginia Rand · Rating 1 out of 5]

Don't get me wrong, I like this series, but what is this book for? Is it for people who haven't watched the show? Then it hasn't got nearly enough description, and how would they come across it? Is it for people who have? Then why the hell would they need what's basically a fleshed out transcript?

[Amanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very quick read. Seems like they cobbled several episodes together into 1 mini novel. I think it reads best with some understanding of the show. Definitely written for a younger reader.

disappointingly simplistic.
