It says, on the front cover of this book, that it is a novel. If it is, then it just barely is. It reads more like a group of short stories with the same characters. It lacks the cohesiveness. And even from section to section, there is rarely any resolution of closure to the situation discussed. In one of the first stories, the children and their mother are all hiding from the father when he comes in. but he does not go looking for them, and just sits down. He children and the mother wait for a while and that’s where the section ends. I had to go back and reread the end as I thought I missed something. And, unfortunately I did not really enjoy the stories either.

I used to be a fan of Cornwell, but I have not found her recent work to my liking. This book, however, it one of her earlier works and I enjoyed it. This book is the story of what happens when a DA, a cop, and an investigator who all have troubled pasts come together to solve crime. The characters are well developed, the writing is good, and the story line is interesting.

East read, not as good as the previous two in the series

What a surprising delight! The feel good stories I have read in the past are either silly of sappy or both. But not this one. It has the love and compassion you want, but it is grounded in realistic characters who have problems but are trying. The premise is that two people who have both just had their fiancés dump them become roommates, while the two people who broke off the engagement are now engaged to their former partners. It sounds silly, but it is very well done and I look forward to reading something else by this author.

What if we could bring back the dinosaurs, only this time we could edit the genes so that the dinosaurs were not aggressive? Would that be enough? Or would we want to also bring back neanderthal man? Would that then be enough? Or would we then want to use some of the neanderthal genes to improve our genome? And where would this all lead? This is the setting for this wonderful and yet truly frightening story. You will not be disappointed!

This a wonderfully done graphic novel that will appeal to a select audience of those who have ever wanted to go off alone into the wilderness and survive off the land. Recommended for those grades 7 and up.
