 "Where
 George
is it?...Where is Glick's diary?“ (25)
ends up with a mysterious diary in his
hands not knowing at all what it may be. While
George and Percy Smythe are leaving the
museum one night two men come barging
through demanding the diary at once. One of the
men accidently catching many books on fire by
bumping an oil lamp to the ground. Percy dies in
the demanding brawl.

"Right now," George said slowly, "Glick's diary is on
fire.“ (25)
 An
expert pickpocket( Eddie), an actress (Liz)
and George become a team to try and solve
Percy’s murder. They try to reveal why these
people want Glick’s diary so desperately. A man
named Augustus Lorimore has an obsession with
reanimating the dead, Dinosaurs and humans. It
is up to the three to stop him and his reanimated
monsters.
 “Distracted,
both Sophia and Gerald
turned towards the sound. Coiled up and
ready to move, George did not waste a
moment…” (143)
 George,
Liz, and Eddie have not much time to
stop one of Lorimore’s creations that is
roaming the streets. This massive dinosaur
was brought back from the dead and is deadly.

“Maybe there was a tunnel close to the coal chute or
whatever was behind the doors. Or maybe it was
water rushing through a sewer…[George’s] first
impression The thought that it sounded like
something breathing.” (151)

George and the others hear something and believe it is
one of Lorimore’s recreated monsters. The group is
spooked and has to remain silent otherwise they might
be the monster’s dinner.
 “His
ultimate goal, … to somehow recreate
the animal and achieve a true marriage of
living dinosaur and technology.” (270)
 George
explains what Lorimore is all about, to
recreate animals and establish his power
through monsters. The team develops a plan
to get rid of him and his monsters.
 This
book was an exciting book but it
didn’t have much of a personal
connection to me because I never really
showed interest in dinosaurs as a child
and still today. I do not know much in the
field of dinosaurs but the book was still
an exciting book. This book was a gothic
type of book which also doesn’t usually
interest me but it was a new type of book
for me to read and it was a thrilling book.
 What
starts with a museum robbery in
Victorian London unites three as a team to
take down a madman [Augustus Lorimore].
Eddie , George, and Liz. The team is being
hunted by Augustus Lorimore. Lorimore is a
crazy sinister factory owner, a man who is
crazy about recreating the dead, both
humans and dinosaurs. A big problem is
that one of each is already terrorizing the
streets of London. Eddie, George, and
Elizabeth stop Lorimore's monsters and
himself. Many close to death incidents keep
the reader on their seat.
 My
recommendatiopn for this book
would be 4 out of 5 stars. The book
was an exciting book that will keep
you on your seat the entire book.
 Mr. Justin
Richards is a great writer and I
would be interested in reading other of
his books. If you are interested in
Dinosaurs then this type of book would
right for you.
