Didn’t Like It “Dwells way to much on sickness & death. Keeps your interest and even on the edge of your seat. But, parts of it are predictable. Also, the utter destruction of an incredible scientific discovery was unnecessary.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“Marvellous. The characters are almost entirely stock characters, plucked from Cliche City, and the plot is a bit shaky in places, but I enjoyed the romp through the jungle. A clever book, and I've no reason to doubt the science!”

“Was a bit "over the top", as Rollings books tend to be. Then the ending tended to drag out.”

Leann wrote this review Monday, October 10, 2011. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“James Rollins is one of the best adventure writers working today, and this early example of his work is typical of his writing and is a great escape. With his usual blend of adventure, science, politics, culture, myths and a little "what if" and romance added in, Amazonia is another exciting roller coaster ride of suspense. If you need sleep, don't start one of his books, as it's very hard to put them down once started.

A science/military team is going deep into the rainforest of Brazil, following the years old trail of an earlier expedition that disappeared. The prize: a potential miracle drug with regenerative properties. The dangers are numerous, from monstrous caimans, head-shrinking shamans, man-eating locusts, to double-crossing humans working for morally bankrupt, greedy pharmaceutical corporations.
As team members are killed off willy-nilly, time is running out for the desperate, remaining members of the expedition. Readers will be kept guessing as to who survives in this thrill ride of a novel.”
“Rollins writes in such a way that you feel part of the expedition”

“this book was good. it is like an Indiana Jones type of adventure novel, where scientists go into a mysterious land looking for some particular kind of artifact or knowledge only to uncover a mystical truth beyond their wildest expectations. i recommend this thriller/adventure story. ”
