Thank you for a great review!
That's understandable. The sensitive topics might even prove to be too much for people who love monster stories (the animal kind). Thank you so much for stopping by!

And Emily's story was also my favorite :). When I was reading the book I started to analyse all the mentioned dinosaurs, so I really did learn a lot of things about them.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I learned a lot about them too. I even went to the internet and learned that over 700 dinosaur species have been identified and named, and I cannot begin to imagine how it was possible that they went extinct.

I loved Jurassic Park (and who doesn't!) and would love to read this book. But I'm really shocked by the presence of paedophilia in the story. I just don't understand how that's important to the story.
But thanks for mentioning it. I think it's better that people know before reading about the unsettling aspects of the book.

This book was well written, overall. I actually remember thinking that while reading. The sensitive topics, those ones got me by surprise, but there was actually a 'please be advised' along with the book description, only that it's not comprehensive. I hope you do get the chance to give it a read. Thank you so much for stopping by!

This book seems very interesting with a Jurassic Period dinosaur's ghost chasing Dylan and his family. I would like to see how they got saved. Thanks for the great review.

When I saw the cover, I thought it was just a children's book, but I can see how it could appeal to adults as well. I did enjoy the Jurassic Park movies, so I think I would appreciate this book. Thanks for an excellent review!

It's a 'for a mature audience only' book. Do give it a look if you get the chance. Thank you so much for stopping by!

I neither like dinosaurs nor I am interested in Jurasic Park movies. So, I will just pass this book because of profanity and my interests. However, I loved your beautiful and thorough review.

"Pedophilia is especially delved into - because the definition of 'monsters' doesn't end on beasts."
I did not see that coming.

I'm also very curious to know about the relation between the Allosaurus and the Armitage family. Now, why would a dinosaur follow around a specific family? :eusa-think:
Thank you for a wonderful review.
