Sometimes this hit so hard I was breathless.
Other times it was too bizarre to even imagine.

I have not a single childhood memory of watching, or reading, winnie-the-pooh. Of course, I'm well familiar with the figure. But I didn't think I had personal experience with it.
Which is why I downloaded the original work and gave it a spin. And wouldn't you know? Every single story was familiar to me.
And while I don't remember it, it's warming to me that I've rediscovered a spark of a forgotten childhood memory.

I really liked this book. But the author had absolutely no knowledge about what a katana can or cannot do. Which is kind of disappointing because outside that glaringly huge plot-hole this was one of the more decent dinosaur horrors I've read so far.

As an consumer of dinosaur horror, standards aren't exactly that high.
This one took the cake tho. All I'll say is that if I was a millionare and I was going after something on an dinosaur island I'd be bringing more backup than two simple bodyguards and black market weaponry would be involved.

And lets not get into the whole "I don't want to get married, but now I DO! I got a ring! I'll tell her!" just to never actually get around to telling her.
