A Good Book,
By "megadeth25" (Sun Valley, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs (Mass Market Paperback)
Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs.Overall, probably not as good as Philosopher's Stone, but it passed the time. A few things I did't like: 1. Joan Starbuck. I really didn't like the character, she was too cardboard, and the bits about her that McCoy did give us, were unlikeable. The whole masquerade as a nun has been done long before and by better writers (see: Two Mules for Sister Sara). Also, I have to say that it's very cliche and I don't think anyone was really surprised when it was revealed. I knew from the beginning that it was a ruse. 2. The use of Lao Che and Wu Han was a nice addition but when combined with the fact that they're after eggs, and eventually we find out that there are 3 of them, and the scene with the evil Lama there is too much of a sense that this book is just a redo of Temple of Doom. 3 Dinosaur Eggs - 3, egg-shaped, Sankara Stones. Only one of each survives. Lao Che and Wu Han. An elaborate scene involving a jar of ashes - The beginning scene with Nurhachi. The evil Lama - Mola Ram. The scene where they make Indy drink Reindeer Urine - The scene where Indy is forced to drink blood. See the similarities? 3. The end fist fight between Indy and Granger. I felt that this was totally out of character. The Granger that was set up throughout the book would not have done such a thing and I felt that the incident cheapened the character and left me not liking him after having liked him throughout the first two-thirds of the book. 4. I was very disappointed in the end of this book. Where the Philosopher's Stone just ended, this book seemed to go on too long, like the Author didn't know how to end it. Leaving me to wonder if Max McCoy even knows how to end a book. The things I liked about this were the locations. The Gobi Desert really made this book interesting and did its part to try and make this a unique story even with the Temple similarities. After reading this though and thinking back on Philosopher's Stone, there was a lot of Raiders and a little bit of Last Crusade in Philosopher's Stone, making me wonder if Max McCoy is capable of an original idea. His Artifacts/Locations for the most part are intriguing, but so far he's just using them to make re-does of the movies. Let's hope Hollow Earth has more to offer. All of that said, I would recommend this book. It's definitely a must read if you're an Indy fan.

The best book since dinosaurs laid eggs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Indiana Jones and the Dinosaur Eggs (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is funny and witty, and there is plenty of action. Indy still has his girlfriend from the last book, Indy and the philosopher's stone, so there isn't a lot of gross romance. The book is really fabulous, and everyone should read it!
