Utopia through surgery.<br /><br />Richard - I also liked the first book better. Will have to see how Book #3 is in relation to the first two.<br /><br />George - I have to say that I bought my copy from Half Price Books. They always have many, many volumes of Doc and, also, the Shadow.Scott D.

My not always reliable memory tells me I liked the first book better, and some of the later ones a lot better, but that may be because the dino-excitement wasn't there for me after reading so many other dinosaur themed novels over the years and seeing films, especially Jurassic Park. The book does have a bit of a ERB feel to it, I think.Richard R.http://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-77690791062099807502010-04-16T14:52:24.366-05:002010-04-16T14:52:24.366-05:00You'll find that in the later books, criminals...You'll find that in the later books, criminals were sent to Doc's "college" where a simple "brain operation" cures them of their illegal thoughts, turning them into productive citizens.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-83371073924919554442010-04-16T13:48:21.491-05:002010-04-16T13:48:21.491-05:00A fun review, Scott.

Sure, the plots and characters were cool, but it was Dent's voice that impressed me most. His wry wit was an exhilarating change from the stodgy crap we had to read in school.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.com
