Rating: Summary: A good quick read. Review: This book didn't have my attention for a while but when it finally did grab ahold of it the book was great. It flowed well, I like Wilson's writing style, short paragraph after short paragraph, you can put the book down and get right back into it that way. The book lacks some of the details of other Marine thrillers but the book doesn't suffer without them, in fact after reading many marine books the biology bits just get in the way. All in all the books reads as a typical book like this would except it has alot more action and suspense then other books of its type, it is definatly a good read, you will find you read it very quickly due to the action scenes which have you hooked to the book. 4 Stars
Rating: Summary: Jurrasic Shark Review: Before Steve Alten's book Meg, there was Wilson's Extinct. This one had been scheduled as an NBC mini-series but I don't think it ever happened. A shark attack on a small boat leads to the belief that a great white shark may be in the area. But one man suspects that something else might be happening. As the search for the shark goes on, evidence begins to build and be revealed that the prehistoric predecessor to the great white is still alive and biting. Shark attacks and sightings help drive the action while the truth is slowly revealed until the climax and surprise ending. There was just one thing that bothered me about this book. It was the same thing that bothered me about a TV movie about giant Salamanders attacking an island (Gargantua), all of the animals killed are the females of the pairs. There is never any mention of the fact that mated pairs are in trouble because the females are dead. But other than that, I had a great time with this book. Monsters, suspense, action and some mystery. What more could you ask for?
