review 1: If you've ever read a Michael Creighton book then you will appreciate Fossil River. It is a great novel, however, you do have to get through a lot of technical stuff at the beginning. I admit I did skim over the technical stuff (as I do with Creighton's books) because I don't understand it or don't need to know it for the story. Once you get to the story it is a wild ride with living fossils, terror, and a nation on the brink of an energy crisis. I look forward to more books by Jock Miller.
review 2: I shouldn't really call this fantasy, but... Think of this as a more advanced, more accurate, and slightly more-poorly-written Jurassic Park. I found myself skimming towards the end, not too interested in this chapter's "OMG the dinosaur is going to get us!" develo... morepment. I like the concept, but some of the dialogue might as well have been replaced with plot developments snippets, ala "[This character is being unsympathetic so you can start to dislike her.]" Transparent and unsubtle.Core story is interesting, but I just don't think the author created a real or believable character set. less
