This review is from: Prey (Jurassic Park Adventures, 2) (Paperback)

Thirteen-year-old Eric Kirby survived alone for eight weeks in Jurassic Park and became an instant celebrity, writing a book, appearing on TV, even testifying before the United Nations. Now, several months later, he's returning to Isla Sorna, which now hosts a protected, fortified research complex. Eric is disappointed to learn that he'll be spending his visit in the complex, just sitting around doing nothing. When five people parachute from their plane onto the island for an unknown reason, Eric fears they will be abandoned, as he himself was for so long. He sneaks out of the complex and sets out to rescue the parachutists, only to discover they are five reckless teenage filmmakers who intended to land on Isla Sorna all along. Can Eric convince them of their foolishness, or has he risked his life for nothing? I highly recommend this book to readers who enjoyed the first book in the Jurassic Park Adventures series.

1.0 out of 5 stars Now I will never read anything this bad again, January 2, 2003

By 

Katie Stevenson (Medford, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prey (Jurassic Park Adventures, 2) (Paperback)

The story is very basic and dumb... A boy visits an island full of dinosaurs that he's scared of, yet mystified about... when a bunch of teenagers land on the islandto film a movie. The boy sgoes to "rescue" them under false pretensis, only to be enraged by there stupidty.
I highly erge you not to read this book. It was a waste of my hour (seeing as it's only shy of 100 pages...)
