Ten years later, she finds herself working aboard a yacht, adrift at sea and in life, her peers nicknaming her the 'Monster Girl': a sad consolation for her own stunted career as a stop-motion animator in this era of computer-generated effects. When their boat is mysteriously pulled through a corridor of fog, the crew finds themselves deposited on the shores of an extraordinary island, a place where the stomping, roaring, clambering dinosaurs and creatures of Russell Boylan's classic films have been relegated to live beyond script or screen, and to evolve.
And it is here that Sierra discovers not only an incredible power, but what may be her purpose.

This one had a slow start and even after it picked up I just couldn't get into it. I love monster movies and I die hard love stop action. But this one for the most part the monsters felt more silly vs. scary. I did like how the story played out and why the characters and monsters were there. I do think that parts of the book were over descriptive and I felt it made the story drag just a bit.
This one delivers a few twists a little action and will def. make you dream about some off the wall things! Lovers of the show Lost, Stop Motion, and anything Monsters should pick this one up!
