Summary: A delightfully silly novel that delivers thrills and chills.
Review: I loved this book. I couldn't read it fast enough and hated to see it end. Where the hell is the sequel Mr. Clark!?

Carnivore uses numerous situations/plot elements from both versions of THE THING as well as Roger Corman's Carnisaur movies. And anyone who knows anything about the quality of life at the South Pole will find the whole thing laughable. But I'll be dipped in t-rex dung if I didn't finish this thing in a day or two. Mr. Clark...bring me a sequel! A real guilty pleasure, but I loved it!

Summary: Carnivore by Leigh Clark
Review: Pleeeeeese, The book is very good but the girl has got to get an attitude adjustment. I'm female and I love animals in every shape and form but her obsession with 'DON'T hurt the big lizard' was a bit to much. Other than that I really enjoyed this book and could stand a few more like it...Bravo...Bring on a sequel. Love those dinos.

Summary: Carnivore by Leigh Clark
Review: There are very few books I never finished. Carnivore was one of them. It was absolutely the dumbest fiction books I ever had the misfortune to buy. The characters were less then one dimensional. The attacks were poorly written. The people seemed to be absolutely oblivious to any of the danger. And the author seemed to invent new personell out of thin air simply to have them be eaten.

Stupidity abounded. A giant insane killer prowling around outside the facillity? I for one would retreat to the absolute center. Five walls between me and the monster is better then one wall.

In short, do not buy this book. Do not borrow this book.

Summary: Could have been much better
Review: This is not a bad book, but it simply could have been much better. The story concerns a remote Antarctic station and a discovery of a frozen dinosaur egg. The egg is broght back to the station, where it hatches through a speed-up process using nuclear waste. What hatches is a T-rex baby, which very quickly grows into the scarriest man-eating machine ever to walk the Earth. What follows is alot of gore and violence as the T-rex kills and eats anything in sight. What kills the book is the stupid, idiotic female character. Her lines and actions are so dumb that the author destroyed a good idea by placing her inside this novel. Otherwise, it was fun.

Summary: B Movie But Still Fun!
Review: This was just a horrendous read. There was nothing of value in it at all. Firstly, you have a small Antarctic complex that seems to have hundreds of people living in it. Secondly, you have a T-Rex that grows to maturity in a matter of days (thanks to some leftover radioactive waste). Thirdly, you have one unintentionally hilarious carnage scene which is repeated ad nauseum for the next 250 pages. Fourthly, you have such memorable lines as "There goes the radio," as a plane slams into the radio cabin cutting the complex off from the outside world and killing about 50 anonymous people. And last, but certainly not least, you have such gems of description as "nonmammalian eyes." If this is the kind of literature that makes you laugh your a** off, then by all means, give it a whirl; otherwise, steer clear.
