I just reread this and while I still enjoyed it, I think I liked it more when I was a kid. Sarah, Kelly, and Arby stand out so much in my memory as being THE BEST from when I read this at, like, 14 years old. This reread I found it a bit slower, and my memories of the dinosaur bits were a much bigger part of the book than they actually take up. Still, I really like the dinosaurs and the disasters, and Dodgson's arc had such a satisfying ending. Will continue to read every few years, probably.
