Dinosaur Summer
Dinosaur Summer | Greg Bear
3 posts | 1 read
Fifty years after professor Challenger's discovery of the Lost World, America's last dinosaur circus has gone bankrupt, leaving a dozen avisaurs, centrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and one large raptor abandoned. Now a daring expedition plans to do the impossible: return the Jurassic giants to the wild. Two filmmakers, a circus trainer, a journalist, and a young Peter Belzoni must find a way to take the dinosaurs across oceans, continents, rivers, jungles, up a mountain that has been isolated for 70,000 years... Then if they make it, all they'll do is face all the prehistoric wonders, dangers, and terrors of the Lost World.

25/150 I can't believe how much I did not like this book. I love the premise, like a sequel to Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, they were returning the last surviving Dinosaurs back to El Grande. However the books pace is grindingly slow, almost 3/4 over before reaching the Lost World. Once there, it's more like Jurassic Park, lots of running from dinosaurs. 2 ⭐⭐💫

On the last day of school, after walking to the old brownstone building on 85th where they had an apartment, Peter's father told him that they would be going away for a few months.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
