Amazon.co.uk Review
When Zack's dad, a paleontologist, is injured in a rock slide in the Utah mountains, he leaves behind a startling and earth-shattering discovery--a dinosaur who is far from extinct and out for revenge. Paul Zindel rarely fails to please and has won wide acclaim for much of his work, with titles such as My Darling, My Hamburger, The Pigman and Confessions of a Teenage Baboon riding as high in the popularity stakes now as they did when they were first published. In Raptor, Zindel continues to pack his customary punch a story that is at once touching and horrifying. In many ways, this is a deceptively simple, albeit fast-paced and, at times, stomach- churning adventure story, but Zindel also manages to cleverly raise issues about man's incomprehension of the bigger picture that leave the reader in little doubt that there is a moral to this tale. (Ages 10 to 13) --Susan Harrison

An excellent book that I never wanted to put down until I had it finished. Some bits were gory (but hey it's my style!) Not for the squeamish!

This is one of the goriest books I have read.The good thing about it is as soon as you are about to put it down something exciting happens,like the raptor breaks through the door of the house.It is not one of those books where you have to concentrat on what's happening which is another good point about it
