Book Review Behemoth by Jonathan C. Leight

Behemoth was a very enjoyable book.  As a fan of the Jurassic Park books, I was excited to pick up a book written by a Christian dealing with dinosaurs. While Behemoth was not nearly as action packed as Jurassic Park, the action that is here is fun and believable. The creationist belief system is very strongly represented throughout the book. While I agree with this belief system, it did feel a bit heavy handed at times. Some of the dialogue felt like a creationist vs. evolutionist debate forum more than an actual conversation. There is a lot of dialogue that feels academic as well. I got used to it, and it didn’t bother me nor did it distract from the story greatly. Once I got used to how the dialogue flowed it felt fairly natural.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a rip-roaring adventure story in the vein of Jurassic Park, you might get bored at times. If you are looking for a well told story with a Christian creationist base point, some fun action, and dinosaur adventure, then I would highly recommend this book. I would even buy and read a sequel if one is written.

I was provided a digital copy of the book “Behemoth” by Jonathan C. Leicht by booksneeze.com. In return for the copy, I was asked to provided an honest review of the book.
