Geoscience factor: Dinosaurs
Spoiler: Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World is true.
Rating: 5
This will be my last dinosaur book review for a while. Probably. Most likely. I promise!
Dinosaur Summer tells a decently average story of Peter Belzoni, a teenager who gets caught up in an uncommon journey. As he travels with his father, Peter meets historical figures and has personal encounters with the fading world of traveling circuses and in the lost land of dinosaurs. Somehow Peter’s adventures are both interesting and mellow, with no rise and fall, no buildup, climax, or satisfying denouement. There are drawings that accompany the text and they are cute and quaint.
I would recommend Dinosaur Summer as a light read for dinosaur fiction or Greg Bear fans.
