Product Description

Meanwhile Connor's anomaly detector is going off the charts: half a dozen rifts in time have appeared, all on one deserted - yet politically contentious - island. Cutter and the team find themselves stranded on a storm-ridden island fighting to survive amidst the terrifying creatures roaming the harsh landscape...

Could practically be made into an episode! (My review may contain spoilers),
This review is from: Primeval: The Lost Island (Hardcover)
The Lost Island was EXACTLY what I was hoping for in a novelization of this television program. It was true to the personalities of Cutter, Jenny, Stephen, Abby, Connor and Lester; characters that I care enough for to go looking for a book about, and it did not have a bus-load of "original characters" that were taking over the story like so many other attempts usually do. The dinosaurs were the spice of the story, and venturing through the anomaly for a time to escape from the monsters was something that I could see happening on an episode. The only problem was that I liked it so much that I read it too fast and it was over. I have not found another to match the awesomeness of this one, and that is a real shame.

Pleasantly Surprised,

This review is from: Primeval: Shadow of the Jaguar (Hardcover)
To be totally honest, I didn't expect much going into this book. I'd just finished watching all three seasons of Primeval and was in the mood for more so decided to give the books a try.I was pleasantly surprised by this novel. I had a few qualms with it, but I think that happens with everything. The relationship between Cutter and Stephen wasn't as close as I have come to believe it is/was from the series. Granted the author chose to based the novel after Helen revealing that she had slept with Stephen, so some animosity is, of course, to be expected, however it is also based after Cutter and Stephen "talked" about it, so the sometimes overly hostile nature of Cutter and Stephen in it felt rather off. Also, there was a bit too much mourning for Claudia/pining for Jenny going on for my tastes. I prefer the shows take on the whole UST thing, where it's never really made a FOCUS on the series. I think the book would have benefited from the author taking that route instead. There were a few other nitpicks that I had but it would be pointless to get into them as for the most part they were easily looked past. Qualms aside, it was nice to see the team back together again after what transpired at the end of S2 and what happened in S3. It was also interesting to see them outside of the U.K. The book brings into light the idea that the anomalies are NOT only found in the U.K. but rather all over the world. A very intriguing (and logical) idea indeed. The characters were, for the most part, true to themselves - with, of course, the aforementioned qualms and the original characters were nicely rounded so that you actually felt something when one of them got hurt or was killed. I'd recommend this book to anyone that enjoys Primeval and isn't looking for something that stays 100% true to the series, but nevertheless is still good for an entertaining read.

Enjoyable read,

This review is from: Primeval: The Lost Island (Hardcover)
This was a really good book. It's a standalone story as opposed to a retelling of one of the episodes, but the length and the amount of detail that goes into it really gives you a sense of how good a Primeval film would be. Some of the deaths were predictable, but the subplot involving Lester was surprising. Overall, a really enjoyable read.
