It's called Dinosaur Run, and it's the most sadistic sport ever devised.
Athletic teenagers are snatched off the streets and transported 150 million years back in time--to the age of dinosaurs--allowing wealthy spectators to gamble on who'll be the first to go, who'll last longest, and who'll be ... eaten ... by what.
But a bold trio of survivors has begun fighting back, and now it's time to change the rules . . .
Don't blink, don't breathe, and don't look back . . . read Dinosaur Strike today!
Still enjoying the heck out of the characters, as well as the local fauna, but I'm like a child that way. If there is a creature with an age measured in epochs, ages, or periods, I'm a happy guy. And if emersing the heroic, hapless, hairless apes in a little dino danger along the way bears that out, well - then, send my bonus to the local VFW where it can do some good. I liked the fact that there were no distracting "Ai, yi, yi" type exclamations, though it seems they were swapped with over 10x as many proofreading failures; i.e. tense, typo, & other errors. One positive remains solid as a rock, though: Mister Jaffrey's imagination makes anything he touches well worth reading.
Lots of action and dinosaurs. The kids really got beat up by the Dino system. New faces and new dangers. No cursing is a plus. Is Tripp gone? Hmmmm. Definitely recommend.
This was a good book, so why did I only give it 3 Stars. The first book was good too but it took 3 years for this book to come out. That's too long between books. If book 3 comes out say in 6 months I'll be glad to go back and change my rating guess we will see.
Soooo...not much to say about this one except it's a continuation of Book 1. At this point I have found myself really invested in these kids. What will happen? Will they be able to go home? Wondering why they don't explore more of the land though. Maybe they could find a bit of a safe haven without so many dinosaurs. Can you imagine being a teenager in dinosaur land? As if puberty and hormones weren't bad enough, you through in some dinosaurs and time trave. LOVE IT!
