Mammoth by John VarleyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 stars for means that it was a good book, but I wouldn't want to read it again. That is a pretty accurate assessment of my experience with this book.
Essentially, this is a book that is a derivative of a huge chunk of the Michael Crichton catalog. It deals with time travel and critters that have been extinct for thousands of years.
There were some decent twists and turns at the end. The antagonist achieves redemption.
However, the science part of the book steadily gave way to a sort of mysticism so that the cause of the ending is less than clear.
This is a fun little romp, but it isn't anything that I feel compelled to read again in the future.
