This was a delightfully dark and daring romp through the New York Museum of Natural History. Pendergast does somewhat steal the show with his steely confidence and southern charms, but Margo, Frock and Smithback hold there own.
The monster was a constant looming threat and it never really felt like we were safe from its influence, which really helped to hold a constant sense of suspense.
The writing style reminded me a lot of Michael Crichton who is one of my favourite authors, which is a definitely a huge plus. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat.
