a monster of a book!

I am a senior in high school and I like to read adventure. That's why I chose Raptor. The cover with its picture of a slobbering fang-toothed, neon green-eyed, hungry-looking dinosaur was the first thing that grabbed my attention. Then I read the summary on the back: "...slowly, the black back stroked Zack's face with a claw...Zack's body contorted, his high-pitched shrieking filling the air, as he felt the claw rising up through his chin..." After reading that, I was hooked. The book kind of disappointed me, though. I found myself getting mad at some of the characters for their actions. It was kind of like when in those hack-n-slash movies and the actors do stupid things to get themselves killed. Of course, it was exactly these actions which keep the story interesting. I would recommend this book to children 12 and older. It is a good read for teenagers, too, because it is well-written, and I don't usually like to read!

RAPTOR

Raptor is a great book about a boy named Zack whose dad found what appears to be an actual raptor egg. On his way out of the cave he was attacked by its mother. When they found him, they thaught there had been an avalanche. His son Zack went back with his friend Uta, a native Indian, and found the egg. They took it home and that's when the trouble started, the egg hatched. This book is filled with nothing but action. It's a real thriller and I recommend this book to anyone who likes an action packed adventure. I just have to give Paul Zindel 5 stars and say that this is some of his best work.

Barney's Vicious Relatives!

This book was a non-stop roller coaster of a thrill ride! It follows young Zack & his native friend Uta as they try to "rescue" a baby raptor, "Honker", who has been "captured" by his mother & brought to the caverns where the dinos live on.All the while an evil paleontologist tries to capture some of the live dinos in an attempt to become world-famous. But he hasn't seen Blackback, a super-evolved Velociraptor with claws & teeth & horns & talons galore!*please note that this book does contain a heavy amount of gore!

The Raptors Revenge

Raptor Is a story about a herd of raptors that amazingly have survived to the present. Professor Norak is a paleontologist in Flaming Gorge, Utah. He goes into an abandoned cave exploring, and comes across something that would make a man a billionaire - a living raptor! After a cave-in, Professor Norak's son, Zack, a daring and courageous teenager; and his friend Uta embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Climbing the shafts of Silver Mountain, finding whole new species of animals, and most terrifying of all, discovering a herd of living raptors!This book is Thrilling and exciting. It is awesome because there is always something exhilarating going on. It's suspenseful you never know what's going to happen next. The book is full of action, from having a living raptor in your living room to encountering one out on the road in your jeep. When I asked my brother about the book he said "I found it cool because lots of cool and almost deadly events happened in this book." This book is kind of scary and inappropriate for little kids. But the book is great for older kids. The scary parts keep you on the edge of yours eat, and keeps the story going. There is an exception to this, my little brother. He loved it; when I asked him about the bad parts he couldn't think of any.

This book was AWESOME!

I liked this book because it was not afraid to be gory and scary. I don't like many book, but I really liked this one. Kids who are not big readers will like Paul Zindel, my favorite author.
