I hate when I'm reading and KNOW that the resolution isn't going to happen (setting up for a sequel) when a book isn't billed as part of a series. <br />While intriguing I'll probably give it a miss.<br />Veronica Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159799725109784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-42093964067779115662015-08-17T09:47:57.856-07:002015-08-17T09:47:57.856-07:00Shannon: It's nothing like Jurassic Park.

A friend had a crush on him, and I had to hear about him way too much, which always drives me away from things. Random fact for you there. The making them sterile thing sounds reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Is it different enough to be worth it?
