COMMENTS: This is a fabulous read and again, so much better than the movie. There's a lot of scientific research discussed, which goes over my head, but then I'm used to that being married to a Physicts haha The excitement and danger continue to go on and on with no escaping the ancient beasts. Common for the time (more the late 90s) the kids did know more about computers than the adults, with students teaching their teachers. So it didn't surprise me when Tim saved the day in the Control room.
