Violence: G.
A lazy archeologist discovers four dinosaur eggs. Once uncovered
they grow rapidly into human dinosaur hybrids. He lets them watch TV and get
into mischief while he naps. During this nap he discovers an ancient alien race
couldn’t save earths dinosaurs from an evil being long ago, but managed to imprison
him and create four hero like dinosaurs. Now the evil being is waking up and influencing
the world. Will the four manosaurs be able to save earth from a new bad guy?
The book starts off on a bad foot for me as the main
character is dreaming of rescuing a scantily clad large chested woman. There is
also mention of sexual imagery on TV being a problem (which it is, but younger
readers would be so confused). Overall just strange, chaotic, and overly busy.
The artwork is decent.
