Echo Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas J. Preston If you like Douglas Preston, you should read the Pendergast series that he writes with Lincoln Child. Pendergast is one of my favorite characters of fiction! Let me know how you like Tyrannosaur Canyon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendergast is one of my favorite characters of fiction! Let me know how you like Tyrannosaur Canyon! Alright, will do! I just looked up the series you're talking about and it looks interesting--I'll go ahead and add it to my list. Sadly, other than Encyclopedia Brown, a Nancy Drew book, and Martyn Pig, my experience with Mystery books is extremely limited; so the suggestion is much appreciated! I really need to broaden my horizons a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasei Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ugh. It is taking me ages to get through The Wild Road. For some reason I just cannot get into this book. It seems to have picked up the pace a bit in the last few pages, but I'm about 1/4 of the way through the book and still am not getting that need to read that I normally succumb to once I'm this far into a novel. I think I've been trying to get into the story for about a week now...I'm hoping that writing about it here will help me finish it or something. Who knows. Edit: Now that I think of it maybe the reason that I can't jump into this book the way I normally do is because I've got about 15 other books checked out from the library at the moment, most of them I'm dying to read. So I guess I'm distracting myself. e_e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Dinosaur Summer by Greg Bear Raptor by Paul Zindel Tyrannosaur Canyon by Douglas J. Preston The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker you seem to love dinosaurs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasei Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 you seem to love dinosaurs! Haha, yes, well--I'm really in to animal books but a few weeks ago I ran out of ones that I'd heard good things about. Then, after reading Raptor Red it struck me that I hadn't read a whole lot of Dino novels outside of Jurassic Park...so I went and checked out a bunch of them from the library that had good reviews on Amazon. I can't wait to get started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasei Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Woo! I finally finished The Wild Road! Yaaaaaay! When I get a bit of time I think I'll try my hand at writing a review. This should prove either interesting or pathetic as I've never written one before, so we'll see. Anyway, I'm on off to read The Son of Summer Stars by Meredith Anne Pierce! I've had my eye on this book since I picked it up from the library a week ago and I think that it might be partly to blame for my labored reading of The Wild Road. It's the final book in a trilogy that's very difficult to locate these days (been out of print for ages) and I cannot wait to dive into it! Technically I should be reading The Golden Cat now since it's the sequel to The Wild Road, but I don't think I could take much more of that scenery just now.
