Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Dino Wars is a saga based on a war between humans and the raptors (dinosaurs). The time frame is set thousands of years ago and here the raptors are shown as intelligent creatures who can engage in systematic attack and knows how to camouflage themselves to hide from humanity. The book is gory, adventurous and mixed with history. The old time has all the modern names of continents and cities intake to avoid any type of confusion. The first few pages were a bit boring and confusing as the author Brent Reilly hoarded us with information. However, the beauty of the story started developing as soon as the initial ground work was laid and soon enough we got to know that a mere boy of 8 years of age is going to be our hero. Reilly produces some extremely terrible scenes like the first battle where kit loses both his parents. The tragic description of their death where the raptors opened up the mother's womb to spill out the fetus is both heart wrenching and grim. Reilly equips his heroes with some special quality. Here Kit is a great climber and could climb any place with ease and swiftness. He is also an expert with slings and could fight a war with the help of sling and lead pellets. The book has many exciting moments and the war seems to go on for infinity. The book could be read to children with parental guidance and boys specifically would love the story.
