Good but..,,

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2018

I really enjoy this type of storyline and considered this one to be well developed and interesting. However the vulgar language overflowed throughout the story. I skimmed and tried to avoid most of the dialogue with f bombs but the author rained them down in almost every scene.
The book would have been much better without this language. It was not necessary. You say well people talk that way. Not all people. What could have been a five star book fell to the bottom for me.

So. Much. Fun.

Forgive me, but I'm going to gush a little. I enjoyed this book sooooo much! The adventure was every bit as thrilling as I expected, although it came from a lot of directions I did NOT expect. In addition, the character development was surprisingly gripping. Imagine being thrown into a dangerous situation with a bunch of random strangers; people with whom you have nothing in common. The surprises - good and bad - as you struggle to survive, and learn about the strengths and weaknesses of those you have to depend on. I was on the edge of my seat all the way until the end. Highly recommended!

LOVED THE BOOK!

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

This book took me back on an exciting adventure many many years ago when first diagnosed with a learning disability, dyslexia. A Catholic nun realized I was having difficulty learning to read. It was in the 50s and I was about seven years old. Mother Superior told my mother,"get her to read anything". Cereal boxes, the condiments on the table, comic books, etc. Mother took me to a Library & newsstand, and introduced me to books on dinosaurs. For every book I took out, she would reward me with a comic book of my choosing from the newsstand. Back then, I didn't know what was science fiction, vs. reality. To this day I am still stuck on dinosaurs. There are many in this book with vivid accounts of their appearance and behavior. To me, the people were secondary except for a protagonist and heroin or two. This was fun to read, and well written.

Great premise, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2021

Verified Purchase

The premise is simple: a mysterious event transports a coffee shop from downtown Denver to the Cretaceous period. There's a lot you can do with this story, and as a dino nerd I'm always up for reading about an adventure in the deep past. Unfortunately, this book did not quite cut it for me.

I will give the author credit, he did a good job portraying the prehistoric creatures with modern science (as of the publishing of the book), including a feathered T. rex and Triceratops with quills. He makes a few assumptions about dinosaur behavior that have no scientific basis, but we're talking about animals that have been extinct for millions of years, so that's forgivable. The pacing of the book, for the most part, is pretty solid. The character dynamics unfold naturally, and though it's somewhat predictable, there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages. The level of description isn't always the most artful, but it's not so amateurish that I wanted to stop reading.

Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros in this book. The story lacks a balanced view of the characters. There's a lot of POV jumping, which is fine, but it's uneven and sometimes jarring. We learn a ton about how Callie the psychiatrist, William the father, and Al the IT guy all view the world, but we get almost nothing from the perspective of Morgan the immature goofball despite his constant presence. The book is also hyper-violent, taking gore to gratuitous levels that will surely limit the age of its audience.

Forgive this one direct spoiler, but the book explicitly states how William is a single father of two boys, and yet he gets eaten by a T. rex. Not only is this a huge bummer, but it's callous when you think about how the book ends. Speaking of which, the biggest problem with this book is when it moves into the big finale. The narrative is suddenly rushed and convoluted. It abruptly focuses on just one character while several others are practically left in the background. I wanted to see how the villain FEELS in defeat after an entire novel of watching this person plot and scheme, but instead the story ends that arc with no fanfare whatsoever. And when the dust settles, the circumstances leave A LOT of questions about what will happen to the characters, the time traveling technology, and so on. But, the book just stops without any real falling action. It was frustrating after watching the characters fight their way through a prehistoric hell. I could be wrong, but it comes off as if the author was in a hurry to finish the book and didn't seriously edit the latter portion later.

On top of all that, there are multiple typos where periods or quotation marks are missing. Also, the correct abbreviation of a scientific species name is capital first name, period, lowercase second name. So, Tyrannosaurus rex would be "T. rex", not the common "T-rex". When you see a typo in a book published through a company, that's on the publisher and the editor. Self-published books on the other hand are all on the writer; they have to look their absolute best in order to stand out, and I'm afraid the typos make this book look unprofessional.

It was worth to read once, but I'm not sure I would go on this adventure with the Dinosaur Four again. The author has great potential, but I recommend he finds an editor and refines his skills.

Awesome Time Travel With Dino's!

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this this twist on reality! A strange ticking noise was heard and then a group of strangers (well not all of them) were transported back in time..along with the coffee shop they were in! Not only do they have to survive back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, they also had to figure out why they were there and how to get back to the future! The characters were awesome, I loved William..the Dad with 2 kids who loved dinosaurs, so he could tell the survivors some tips! Helen was amazing as well, an old lady pulls out a can of whupa$$ and actually survives up against many other younger people. There was a token "psycho", and some other great characters in the mix. The ending was sad but some people got theirs in the End! I just really think the author did a great job on the plot and creatively made the whole adventure seem plausible! It was fun and as a horror fan..gave me my dose of gore and terror!

Interesting premise, just not well written

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

I like science fiction books about time travel and have read a lot of them by classic and major authors as well as indie authors.

This book just wasn’t that well written and involved several worn and shallow plot lines, like the guy who wants to sabotage the rescue effort so he can live a jungle life with just himself and a few women. So while many of these books I can read through in a day or two, it was a slog to finish this and I had to force myself to read it through.

Overall, I can’t really recommend this one. Within this genre, there are so many better books, it is fine to skip this one.

A fun and enjoyable romp through prehistoric times

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

This read like a cross between Jurassic Park and Predator. 10 characters are mysteriously transported back (in the cafe where they were drinking their morning coffee!) to the land that time forgot....The book isn't very long and it's very light and easy to read, but Geoff Jones still manages to create some believable, (some likeable and some not!) characters, who you root for throughout the story. The 10 time travellers need to find out how they got there, survive being destroyed by dinosaurs, and find their way back home again. The scenes with the dinosaurs are interesting and fun, and obviously well researched. The best fun is guessing who dies next, how, and are they ever going to make it back home? The characters are sympathetically written, so you do actually feel cross when one of the "goodies" dies. I'll not spoil it by saying who does live and who doesn't, read it and find out for yourself! Very good debut, thouroughly enjoyed it, hugely entertaining

An excellent B-movie novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

I wasn't expecting this to be up to much. It's advertised by the author as a 'B-movie' novel, and he's been promoting it to death for a couple of years.

What's great is that it is what it says it is. I like that honesty. You signed up for a B-movie novel, you get a B-movie novel. It is unpretentious, but quite well-written. The plot keeps you going nicely, and chapters finish on page-turning events. The characters have their flaws and hidden motives, so there's plenty of conflict and tension. The point of view does jump around a little bit within chapters, which writing courses teach you is a bit of a no-no. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because it's a B-movie and this guy makes it work.

And the author is absolutely not afraid of killing his characters. The clue is in the title: The Dinosaur Four. There are ten of them at the start, so you 'do the math', as the Americans would say. Well done, Geoff Jones!

CretACEous Goodiness

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Dinosaur Four by Geoff Jones starts as innocuously as possible in a coffee shop during morning trade. When a loud ticking sound starts up, followed by the chunk of building housing the café being transported 67 million years into the past, those unfortunate enough to be within face what few could even imagine: survival during the time of the dinosaurs.

What we have here is a novel that combines action, intrigue, and the examination of the human psyche, all tied up in what could easily be a B-movie special. There are obvious comparisons to films like Jurassic Park, but Jones manages to avoid turning The Dinosaur Four into a rehash of these, putting a unique spin on the premise. While the how’s and why’s aren’t given any real detail, what there is more than works within the confines of the story.

While not everyone makes it once the coffee shop is back in the cretaceous period, those that are still around provide plenty of entertainment, and also a good look at human nature when people are thrown into such a stressful situation. Jones manages to keep you guessing as to who will or will not survive the page count, as well as ending the story in a rather unexpected fashion. Recommended.

I enjoyed this purely for the entertainment value! It was well written and paced. The final chapter contained some novel concepts about time and history woven into a satisfying ending. I'll definitely look at other books by this author.

Heroes and time travel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is brilliant, it gels how people get transported back to prehistoric and the is are in out and home. Who hasn't wondered about traveling through time and spending time with dinosaurs?
As always there are heroes and villains in this book, one man tried to derail getting back home to satisfy his own carnal pleasures and even gets someone killed in order to try and stay in the past. However the good overcomes the bad and everything turns out ok in the end. There are numerous adventures beforehand.
