Rating: 4 out of 5

Dinosaur Lake was very interesting.  Many reviews are comparing it to other books/movies but I have never read or seen any of those except for Jurassic Park.  Personally I think the only thing even remotely similar to Jurassic Park is the fact that there is a prehistoric creature.  Through some natural events a prehistoric creature shows up at a lake.  He is young, alone and hungry.  Strange things begin to happen and people begin to disappear without a trace.  Without giving away too many spoilers I will say the book is well written with a great plot.  I did think the book dragged on a bit - some of it was helpful to understand the characters and their motivations - while some of it caused me to get a little bored at times.  Overall I give this book a 4 star rating.  I loved the characters and they had such realistic qualities, personalities and issues.  They were not perfect and were striving for happiness and approval.  And the story made heroes out of some characters who had been living otherwise ordinary lives.  A very good story.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
