I read them more times than I can count, and I was thrilled to hear that there would be a new chapter in the […]
Tess Sharpe’s THE EVOLUTION OF CLAIRE is a non-vital, but thoroughly enjoyable chapter in the JURASSIC PARK story. A movie adaptation based on a book may be hard, but a book adaptation based on a movie will always be harder.
