I loved it!  Like the hero, Henry, I've always been a fan of dinosaurs, and that was my original ambition in life, to be a paleontologist, like Justin, his young friend.  I didn't make it, so now I read about them instead.  This is a great story, starting out with descriptions of Crater Lake and how Henry got to be Head Park Ranger.  The action builds slowly, with just a hint of something wrong here and there, beginning with the first tremor, lulling the reader into that niggling sense of danger before delivering the shock that there's a Real Dinosaur in the Lake!This story reminds me of some of the scenarios I've seen on the SyFy Channel, and I don't think I'd be too off-base if I said it would be a good candidate for dramatization.  It's well-characterized, there's a good story line, with plenty of background information.  Justin is likable, as is Henry and they make a great team, and the scenes in the underground caves would make great special effects.Dinosaur Lake is a great adventure story, as well as a feast for the dinosaur-lover who dwells in many of us.  Great cover, too!Dinosaur Lake was supplied by the author and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
