Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good read
Review: This book is not just for kids. I am 26 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Literary snobs might look down their long noses at it, but I thought it was fine. The author has a good sense of humor too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dinosaur Fiction At Its Best!
Review: This book is truly amazing. The dinosaurs are just like modern theory. The writing style is simplistic and the book could easily be read in a day's time. The characters are well developed and you'll find yourself being drawn into the story along with the characters. I do recommend, that if you enjoyed this book, that you have the sequel, "Dinosaur Wars: Counterattack" on hand and ready to read because you'll go deeper into the story,and that's something you don't want to wait for.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dinosaur Wars - Simply great
Review: This is one great story. Hopp has created a world where dinosaurs and humans come into contact, and conflict, and has done so in a way that contrasts with others who have written on this subject before him. Like Crichton's Jurassic Park, the time and place are here and now, this planet, our times. His means of getting dinosaurs to suddenly be everywhere is truly ingenious. The dinosaurs were easily as frightening as those in Jurassic Park, and were more up-to-date with modern science.

On the other hand, the people of Dinosaur Wars were much easier to like than Crichton's grouchy Ian Malcolm. The young, dashing hero, Chase Armstrong and the heroine, Kit Daniels fall in love while trying to survive in a world suddenly full of dinosaurs.

This book reads like an Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure. Thrilling all the way! It is not so much a high-faluting sci-fi story as it is a simple, down-to-earth, FUN adventure tale.

I recommend it enthusiastically!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved Dinosaur Wars!
Review: This is one of the best adventure stories I have read in a long time. The dinosaurs are realistic and very scary. The heroes are a male/female pair who could be played by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Love Hewett -- easy! They are real heroes too, not the dark and evil types so often portrayed these days. He's a wildlife biologist (a noble profession) and she's studying paleontology at Montana State -- what a perfect couple to get involved with dinosaurs, and each other! The romance is light and suitable for all ages.

This book is well written. You never know which way the plot will turn. My favorite scene: Kit Daniels fends off a T-rex with a pitchfork while Chase Armstrong loads his rifle.

In my opinion, this is one of the better dinosaur adventures published in recent years, and that includes the Jurassic Park novels. With strong male and female lead characters, it outdoes many other adventures of this type.

I am a fan of dinosaurs in literature, so I enjoyed the up-to-date science. Dinosaurs with feathers, raptors bigger than velociraptors, charming tiny pterodactyls, it's got it all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting
Review: This was a great read. Lots of terrific action coupled with a very creative and intelligent plot makes this a must read. I highly recommend it to all, especially sci fi lovers!
