Leviathan

JP is just amazing. I really loved Crichton's style of writing. Through this book, Crichton makes the reader wonder: What would happen if we brought extinct animals(in this case, dinosaurs) back to life? Would we be able to control them and if not, what would the consequences for the humanity be? Overall, this is the perfect novel for every sci-fi lover and dinosaur enthusiast.

MEG is a novel about giant man-eating sharks - Megalodons - that were supposed to be extinct for at least a million years. But, when Megalodons are discovered in the abyss - and they are very much alive - the man who made the disovery, paleobiologist Jonas Taylor, must stop one of them from re-establishing its dominance on the oceans its species once ruled, millions of years ago. Because Megalodon is a predator has no fear of man, and is hungry for flesh...

MEG was a really exciting read. The plot was good and the explanation provided for the survival of Megalodon was surprisingly logical. If you like giant sharks and lots of action, then this is the perfect novel for you.

THE TRENCH was a good read. I enjoyed the whole book, especially the parts that take place in the abyss. I was a bit annoyed that Alten added another creature - Kronosaurus - to “his list of surviving prehistoric monsters”. Wasn't the Megalodon enough? Anyways,when the Kronosaurs made their first appearance, I was like “HUH?”. How could possibly an giant, air-breathing prehistoric marine reptile survive in the depths of the ocean? By evolving gills of course! At least that's how Alten imagined it...
THE TRENCH was a very nice novel overall, although I did not like Alten's “speculative evolution” of the Kronosaurus.

The Tyrannosaur Chronicles is indeed a decent read, worthy of a five star review. The fact that becomes painfully obvious after reading other reviews on this site is that many of the people who reviewed it have indeed little to no knowledge of dinosaurs, save for the usual depictions in popular culture. Reviews like these sadly have lowered the score of this book unjustly, as it's definitely not just a 3.9 🌟 book (rating at the time of writing).

Preachy and stupid. GMOs are not as black and white as the comic implies and there is no “super-science” mumbo jumbo that can make plants mature in a few minutes. The scenario presented in the comic is mind-numblingly stupid.

And speaking of GMOs; the choice is simple: either we somehow reduce or global population, or we use GMO crops to feed people. This is of course not a catch-all solution, something that the writer of this comic probably fails to realize.
