The Great Zoo of China

Matthew Reilly

This book is a great option if you want rip-roaring adventure at a fast pace.  I liked the inclusion of dragons into the action-adventure genre.  Reilly did a good job of comparing the dragons to the only animal still living on Earth that they resemble.  Crocodiles always kind of freaked me out, now I have no plans to go anywhere they may be roaming free.  The book was a little gory in parts and the pace was frantic to the point where it was difficult to follow, but overall I enjoyed the ride!
