3.0

An aspiring actor lies about being able to sail boats to get a part in Dino Buffet 3 but lands them on the wrong island where dinosaurs and other beasts roam and the plants have an appetite for human flesh, not to mention a serial killer. Will any of them get off the island alive?

This is very much an over the top b movie book that is cheerfully mocking the monster films with half naked women or soft porn in them. It's not to be taken seriously like some dinosaur books I've read but it wasn't a bad read if you don't set expectations too high. I did read it all and liked all the death scenes, of which there are many! Bruce is trying to film his scenes of hot young people playing on the beach to pad out the film when they are rudely interrupted by the arrival of hungry dinosaurs. Now the screaming begins for real! Giant toads, spiders and snakes help to turn this into a gorefest while a deranged serial killer looks to grab a few girls to use in his macabre art project. Not a bad dino gore read.
