Well after a lot of thought I decided to review Douglas Preston's Tyrannosaur Canyon. Some books just grab your attention at the beginning and you have to keep reading. Tyrannosaur Canyon is one of those books. The intriguing component of this book is the flashback to prehistoric times where the last days of the T-rex life is described right before extinction. The author places these sections through out the book at the beginning of some chapters. His imaginative details draw on your sympathy and compel you to keep reading to find out what happens to her. After these sections you jump back to current times where the T-rex has been discovered in a canyon cave. During the modern day setting, there is murder and a plot to steal the T-rex. Preston's writing has always been gripping, but I think this is one of his best books. Both time periods are written like movies you see in your mind.After I started reading this book, I called two friends who I thought might like this book. It was so funny because they had already begun the book. All three of us really liked this book.
If you love to read, I encourage you to try this book. Not your genre-I encourage you to try it. I think you will like.
Definitely not my genre. You encourage it anyway? Wow that speaks volumes...
